I've had this book for a year now and for some reason kept putting it off. Which was my loss because this is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's just fast-paced and interesting and compelling and the characters and their motivations are so well done. It is a book about war, and one that looks at colonization and violence from caste system. If you're not in the mood for a lot of fight scenes, it's not for you. But if you're good with that it's fabulous. 

If you liked R.F. Kuang's Poppy War series, you'll probably love this.

Re-reading this series with my sister and wow, still such an amazing debut novel for Evan Winter. An expansive and diverse fantasy that does not sacrifice detail for pace. I am so excited to read the third book once it comes out this March and look forward to continuing this series!
