This series is one of my favourite series of all time already.
I sm blown away by the creativity that went into these books, the art style is so beautiful and dark and ugh! I just love it so much.
The world building. Honestly so amazing and like nothing I've seen/read before. Describing it would take too long and since I read these books in german I don't know the translated names for the races etc. The backstory of the world was further explained in this volume and it was just amazing. I can't wait to read/learn more about the ancient gods and monsters.
Have I mentioned the amazing diversity? No? Multiple queer (side-) characters (and nobody gets shit for it, it's universally accepted), people of different skin colors (especially in this volume) and amazing strong female characters.
And the main character is not involved in any love story what so ever!!!
I just live for this series.
