I'm not being overly cautious with all the CW labels; there are a LOT of really heavy themes in this book

First book of the year and it's 5 stars right out of the gate! I'm really surprised. I knew it was going to be good, but I wasn't expecting to give it 5 stars. Here we are though! I gasped out loud several times while reading. The world building is amazing, the POV shifts are so interesting, and the plot just builds and builds. I can't wait to read the next one!

5.0

Excellent, unique fantasy novel. Very fast paced. I appreciated the different writing style (2nd person, lots of slang). Check trigger warnings.

Interesting journey, the worldbuilding is very well integrated, and the rules don't feel like they're in flux as much as you, the reader, and ghe characters themselves are finding out the limits and mysteries.

I always forget that there's an appendix in the back, would have helped the first 75 pages.
