The writing was horrible, the themes were very problematic and there was barely a plot.

It’s just gorgeous. I’m enraptured by the story and the characters, and I was sad for the story to end! But there will be more story, I just have to be patient haha.

This high fantasy is fun and interesting. I'm curious about the characters and I'll probably read the next one. While the story was fun, I think the prose needs a lot of help.

Horrific portrayal of sex work/sex workers. Massive sexism and contradictory worldbuilding (characters are in a world that is female dominated/ruled, where even god herself is female… yet sexism is RAMPANT and major religious and sexual trauma happens to both female characters at the hands of men in positions of authority). Odd, sweeping tone changes throughout. Writing is self-indulgent, metaphor-filled, and at times difficult to parse. Would not recommend to anyone.

There were times where O felt like I was reading the same paragraph over and over again this book was so repetitive and the world building just felt like a bunch of components shoved collaged together in a way that didn’t make sense
