I finished this book after like... four years? I kept bouncing off of it because the prose is dense and full of old non-English words—there's a glossary, but the Kindle version didn't handle that well.
But yeah! A really cool coming-of-age story about a tall, spooky disaster bisexual growing up at court in pre-England in the 600s. 10/10.
