Japanese inspired
epic fight scenes
war + politics
avatar the last airbender vibes
strong fmc in her 30's
dual pov: mother + her 14 y/o son
complex characters
family + friendship
i can't remember the last time i have been so invested in a new world. this has some of the best action scenes i have ever read. + misaki is one of my favorite fantasy fmc, she is everything!!!!
my favorite quotes:
❝You lost your right to my obedience when you stopped being a man!”
"Flayed and boneless, he faced the creature he had awakened, this woman of gods’ blood and fury."
"Wholeness, she had learned, was not the absence of pain but the ability to hold it.❞
things i didn't like:
×the beginning is very info dumpy
×the pacing was off at times.

the characters and dynamics were so well written it blew my mind, this world and magic system are super interesting and it had the literal best fighting scenes i’ve ever read.
probably one of the best standalone fantasy books out there, i truly loved this story and how it progressed so much, and i couldn’t have thought of a better ending, wow
