I read this to get back into fantasy and it did the job. Gets better in the second half. Some very weird word choice throughout- like the watery bowels.

medium-paced

I couldn’t put the book down. I read it in two days.

Had high hopes for this book considering all of the praise I’ve seen it receive, but found myself let down by the questionable writing and character building. 2.5⭐️ honestly
