Fantasy is really not my cup of tea but I did quite enjoy this book. The character develop and world building was amazing! I’d totally recommend if you’re a fan of fantasy with a lot of lore.

I enjoyed the vast majority of this book, the last 1/5 was.. okay? It wasn’t bad I think I just didn’t like some character and plot choices in the last part of the story. However, the epilogue definitely made me want to read the sequel. Overall would recommend if you like fantasy, adventure, and characters that can never catch a break.

A fantasy take on colonialism and racism against Black people in America. I could not be more impressed by the world-building, including a culturally informed magic system, and cast of characters. Absolutely a must-read for all fantasy-lovers.
