This book relies heavily on the plot of an entire race of people being enslaved as well as racism/classism throughout the world in this book. Uses the same “justifications” for slavery which were used in antebellum US.

I saw someone on Reddit describe this book as a 1,000-page prologue, and it seems a fair assessment to me. It was an increeedibly long read, and at times I really wished the book could have been paired down to only the primary characters in the Shattered Plains. But having finished it, seen that amazing ending and now having the full groundwork laid out for what we’re actually doing in this series, I can see how every perspective and description was necessary, and I do love all of the characters at play. I am very excited to read the rest of the series (after a break, lol).
