The reason I was up til two reading:
This series has: a three person loving main relationship, a gender non conforming main character, a main character with ptsd, dragons, gay people(men?) accepted by society, a character that chooses to continue on every day, dragons that turn into people, a sex worker teaching a really important lesson on self acceptance, a woman as the boss of a road fixing crew, magic talking devices, a disabled character who is not portrayed as broken, gender neutral pronouns, giant magic snakes, mighty fine redemption arcs, and a character that grows as the book does.
