The hype surrounding this book is absolutely deserving. I usually take these hyped books with a grain of salt — I haven’t read one yet that’s lived up to my expectations. Until I read this book. An INCREDIBLE, AMAZING fantasy standalone that really does stand above the rest in terms of quality, storytelling, characters, plot, and world building. It had me from page 1 to page 830. Absolutely INCREDIBLE.
