additionally, some details concerning how the church the protagonist trains for operates is interesting, but - and i have no qualms about spoiling this - giving the main character a boob job and making her prettier is just kinda. gratuitous and annoying in a way that enhances nothing and by making it so any character can look almost any way they want, it detracts from a potentially more interesting system where assassins have very specific specialisations. im having trouble articulating the specific issue i have with this but the best way to summarise it is by restating: Male Fantasy Author.

One of the races of people in this series has some cultural appropriation of natives, specifically with body/war tattoos. Not specifically mentioned to be modelled after any specific people but it is implied to be referencing darker skinned natives when the author is not himself.oliverreeds's review against another edition
