Xinale is one of the most unique characters ever created. Looking forward to the next book.

It was too long and I felt like it was actively fetishising gay men but that’s just my opinion.

What a great way to introduce the characters! I liked them all and the story is moving along nicely. I honestly don’t know much about the story and have avoided all spoilers, so I’m very excited to continue to the next book in the series!

My best friend recommended this book to me and I loved it. I haven't read many books that take place outside of my culture and my known world but this was a beautiful story and adventure. Confusing at some points but with the glossary and other guides, it helped me gain a basic understanding of the world. Highly recommend.

Another horrendous translation. The only reason this gets two stars is because I can see the vague shape of a good story behind the awful English prose.
