The one thing I would say is to take the trigger warnings seriously. Every single tw I can think of applies to this book in gruesome, graphic ways, so just beware of this before reading.

This book contains very graphic triggers. Please be mindful of the trigger warnings and age recommendation (I would say 17+). Reader discretion is advised.caseythereader's review against another edition

📚 It's also amazing to read an epic fantasy story based on real history that isn't European history.
📚 I loved that every character learned and grew and changed, often after learning more about people different from them.
📚 This world is so layered and detailed, and the characters struggle with really big questions brought on by the social and political intricacies of the story.
📚 Some of the writing was a little heavy handed, but I feel like that can be attributed to the fact that the author was SO YOUNG when she wrote this (seriously, how?)
📚 It's extremely graphic. I guess that's not necessarily a dislike, more like a warning. Everyone will tell you how grim this book is, take them seriously.
