I. Can't. Stop. Thinking. Of. This. Book!!!
A counterfeiting ring, hurt/comfort until the cows come home, a richly built fantasy world, a tetchy ex lover, a courtly romance, third gender and neopronouns, a dedicated warrior monk class taking up most of the character roster, queers everywhere ... I love so many things about this book!
Will be reading again. Clear fandom roots but not overwhelmingly or aggressively so. Freaking read this book.
