It’s slower than you’d expect but extremely readable. Id suggest this to anyone wanting to get into fantasy because it’s such an easy read.
Sweet Sansa is my favorite. Daenerys is the definition of gaslight gatekeep girlboss.

Moshfegh is a gifted writer, the last hundred pages reflect this, but I haven’t come across such an ‘edgy’ woman in a very long time. “Oh, she’s raw, she tells it like it is,” can happen without the flippant use of slurs.
