Interesting world, i appreciated that it started in media res but that it later gave us the direct layout of the land (it wouldve added a hundred pages to try to “show not tell” that aspect). Surprisingly found myself caring about Sancia to the point i shed a tear with her story. Really easy read, cant wait to read the next one.
Update: while reading (especially the scene with the golden woman locked away and the…mechanics of a made god) i thought of the divine cities trilogy and low and behold same author. Idk how i found this book, if it was a tiktok or bc i sought out the author and then forgot. Idk kinda cool he has such a distinct voice.
