This book was so good, I finished it in one day. The world building was amazing. The characters and relationships were multidimensional. There are a lot of important topics like racism, slavery, homophobia, force institutionalization, genocide, religious zealotry, gendercide, differing cultural narratives, bias, patriarchy, and oppression. I can't wait to continue the series. It's been a long time since I was sucked into a book like this.
Graphic: Homophobia, Physical abuse, Addiction, Misogyny, Racism, War, Deportation, Forced institutionalization, Racial slurs, Religious bigotry, Xenophobia, and Genocide
