4.0

There is disability representation in one of the  characters, but I am not 100% on the characterisation of this person. I think it falls into some slightly problematic  tropes. If I’m completely honest with you if it didn’t do you that it would be a five star book for me because I like this setting, I really like how it explores themes of rejection, but I will say that there is some triggering things in this book so be careful when reading

3.5 - 4 ⭐s. For the most part I really loved this, including the ending (!!!), but it did lose me at a few points. Elias Taproot makes my brain hurt. However, I overall am vibing with this spin-off series, and can't wait to continue.
