Another masterpiece (imo) courtesy of M.L. Wang. She is so good at writing in a fantasy setting while including super relevant social issues and moral dilemmas that leave you with a lot to think about!

I was pretty intrigued by the magic system, especially with how there was a logic/coding/math aspect to it (although I don't think you need to be a "math person" to appreciate it). As a mathematician myself (and yes - I read the jabs at mathematicians in the book lol), I am probably in the minority but I would have been interested to see more of the spells and language with how they were worded to accomplish the results.

⭐️♾️ INFINATE sobbing stars.

I am forever changed and will be reeling over this story for the rest of my life.

If you want a story to change the very essence of who you are and what you stand for, it will be hard to find something more beautiful.

Running to the story for my own copy and will begin my careers of annotation.
