The Unspoken Name by A.K. Larkwood
3.0
If you're looking for a fantasy story, with several different humanoid species, where the society isn't racist, sexist or queerphobe, orcs aren't stupid muscles and elves are poc. This is the book for you!
Not 4 stars, because it lacks description of the humanoid species. It's not really clear if someone is orc, elf or human.
Also the NAMES! At least it comes with a pronounce guide...
Not sure if it's because I've read so much Tolkien lately, but the story could have been a little more detailed and slower here and there. But I'm also glad Larkwood didn't pulled a Sanderson and made this into three books with 700 pages.
