As a Black American, I don't reccomend this book to other Black people or other oppressed groups because there is so much talk about ~humans~ being dominated and being slaves while all the humans in the book are white. It's definitely one of those fantasy books that was and is still a reality for folks today. That being said I did find that once I started I did want to know what happened at the end

This book- and entire series, are the best of every fantasy/romance series without the worst of it. The world-building is astoundingly detailed, without boring the reader with too much. I've found my new favorite series.
