A really interesting and well-crafted standalone fantasy. I was surprised by the depth of the world and the broad cultures in just a single volume. The plot is rather straightforward, but I appreciated that because it left more room for the worldbuilding. For picking this up on a whim, this was a perfectly delightful read.

minor spoiler regarding treatment of a disabled character:

There is a prominent character who is physically disabled and has very limited use of her legs; the narrative very often hints that her conditioned may be cured through magic or fate, but she maintains her disability through the story's end.
