The thing I want you to see is keep reading even when you’re confused in the first chapter 🤣 it gets so good! If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would! Loved the audio book and not that I’ve read it I’m looking for a hard copy to add to my “trophy shelf” and to highlight!

I liked it very much. As with the obelisk books the characters are great and it‘s fun to see them interacting. The play on symbolism adds even to this.
Like in the obelisk gate, I found the hate & racism a bit too caricature but maybe that‘s the point
