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.

NHIE understood why fantasy authors have this burning desire to replicate the Nazi regime and manage to do it terribly every. single time. Please leave writing about The Third Reich to the historians and the victims.
