An absolute behemoth of a book but I am SO glad that I finished it. This is definitely one of the more difficult fantasy books that I’ve read, partially for the length and pace but my god this was such an adventure. Every time I picked up the book it was very very hard to put down. The world building is incredible and the writing is so immersive. I LOVE this and I’m excited to read the next book!
