I really really loved this book. I haven’t read a fantasy such as this in a while. The rich worldbuilding really brought the whole book to life. 
The cast of characters is not only diverse in skin color / ethnicity but also in sexualities, religion, and physical appearance. For instance, there is a character that is asexual, characters that have crushed on both female and male characters, a blind character, and a character that wears a headscarf.
Only thing about the book that was meh: sometimes it was a bit frustrating and had me rolling my eyes and yelling at the characters at some points for not noticing certain things that felt very obvious (however this happened only a couple of times and wasn’t enough for me to doc the rating).

Would definitely recommend!!

This is an astounding work of fantasy. It’s been a while since I’ve felt wholly transported to a world, and this one really delivered a living, breathing place to live in. The story and world-building is complex but not confusing, the characters just leap off the page, and it was so fun from beginning to end. It’s definitely YA but the themes and craft are so well done I believe just about anyone would enjoy it. Simply amazing I loved this so much!
