This book was TOUGH to get through in many spots due to the dark subject matter, and I would absolutely check trigger warnings before reading, but I have never been more satisfied with the ending of a book. The world Draven describes is rich with lore and doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable subjects. This is one of the best high fantasy books I’ve read in a long time.
