Had the audiobook and all the fantasy sci-fi terms went over my head in the prologue, so I'll come back and read it I guess

Groundbreaking, earth shattering. The ending is so cathartic and the throuple is everything. This is unapologetic and incredibly empowering. Also the modern relevancy and historical inspiration cannot be ignored!! Amazing.

4.5! The world building and character development was really good. The ending was a bit predictable, but still so fun!
