Reading this during a time of open occupation and genocide was difficult - but I'm grateful for stories that can bring more empathy and insight into the terror of living in extreme oppression. 

I don't typically read fantasy series but immediately picked up the next one. The writing style is accessible, easy to read, and the plotting/construction keeps you turning to the next chapter. Well done.
