very fun fantasy story with unique world building. if you ever wanted characters with the vibes of, a middle age unfazed Victorian woman researcher, a traumatized human torch, and a elf (kinda) who's whole race has (kinda) become vampires' out of "problems" with dying, this is a great place to find it.

This was so much fun! Like a classical high fantasy long epos I used to devour when I was younger, but with unusual worldbuilding (kinda post-apocalyptic, kinda pre-apocalyptic with different peoples that are a mix of your usual fantasy races) and characters that were kind of archetypical but at the same time a reinterpretation or subversion of their stereotypes. I especially loved Vintage (more older women as protagnists in fantasy please!!). At some moments character choices seemed heavily influenced by the fact that the author needed the character to be at a specific location just in time for a specific event so the plot could unfold as it was supposed to (which was noticeable because it didn't make much sense for the character to act like that), but it didn't took that much enjoyment from my reading. The writing was also great and I'm really excited for the sequel!
