4.5

A well developed fantasy setting with intriguing and unique magic systems in place, while maintaining the familiarity in a system that exploits the same people it oppresses. The different perspectives allow for a solid look at the world, though it often feels difficult to grasp, with magical vocabulary that's equally difficult to acclimate to without familiarizing yourself with the appendix first. I also have a personal struggle and bias against 2nd person perspectives, though the writing was superb, and the discomfort and tone of a 2nd person narrative is definitely intentional and masterfully executed.

Police brutality is technically more of brutality by those that police a certain group of people.

I don’t like the narration in second person.
