A quick read for anyone into the inheritance cycle, but I found it to be written poorly and disjointed. I enjoyed the background info I got into the world of the Inheritance cycle, but overall I thought it was meh.

A must read for anyone dedicated to unraveling the patriarchy in your life, interested in why men are the way they are, and how you can analyze your every day life in making your community better.

I wanted to like this book more, but for some reason the religious bump at the very very end was sorta weird and felt out of place.

I really really love this book, it’s definitely one of my favorites. But it’s low score is due to the anti-semitism, misogyny and so on. But otherwise, it’s a beautiful book.
