An utterly unique story with fantastic world building and interesting races. You won't find your standard elf or dwarf in these stories and that's exactly why I loved it. The mysteries you explore throughout the book had me pumping page after page with wonder, horror, and delight.
There are some gruesome scenes in the book, mostly fantastical in nature involvingbugs crawling in bodies, and fire burning flesh . There are also two saucy scenes though they were brief and not overly detailed.

The Ninth Rain has become one of my favorite fantasy books of all time and, if you´re a fantasy lover, here’s why you should give a try,
- This book is very weird in the best way possible. There’s so much going on with a mismatch of different elements of fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk and paranormal, which make it super unique and very likely every reader will find something in there to love
- the worldbuilding and lore are mind blowing. Some lore elements reminded me a little of The Stormlight Archive, so there’s that
- there’s a found family trope and meaningful and endearing friendships
- animal companions and magical creatures aplenty
- well written, funny, cheeky, mysterious and diverse cast of characters. The female characters are a big highlight. They’re strong, intelligent, independent and were always at the forefront of the story
- it’s so FREAKING GOOD
If I had to be nitpicky I'd say that it's not the easiest to get into. The begginig is slow and it can feel confusing. I would say that by page 100 or so it's possible to start to piece some things together and it becomes more enjoyable.
Ok my gush is over! I can’t recommend this book enough. It deserves so much more love and recognition.
It’s the best book I read this year and also my first 5 star read and I can’t wait to get to the sequel soon.
