I just spent the last 5 hours soaking this book up like a sponge, like I was trying to drink from a fire hydrant. Every moment was mesmerizing and riveting, it felt like nothing I'd ever read before but also had threads of such heartbreaking humanity that my soul sang. I couldn't get enough both of its unique storytelling, glorious expansive world, and Tarisai who is a girl who grows into a woman who defies all expectations or birth and circumstance and magic and fills the world with her light even if it means walking through fire.
