Oh my goodness this was everything I felt like reading at this current moment in time - my mood aligning exactly with the book I’m reading is always like DESTINY and so I was of course captivated. This book is quintessential classic adventure fantasy but starring a character so refreshingly different from the usual heroes that it felt new despite being older. We’re given adventure, sword-and-sorcery, lovable characters, queer representation, a lived-in imaginative world, the works. I was entirely immersed and just loved it so much
