I mean the three Hugo awards speak for themselves… the world building was incredible and for a high fantasy it wasn’t super confusing trying to figure out what was happening. I loved all the characters and different perspectives. Having a perspective from a child definitely helped me learn what was going on. This was my first time reading from 2nd person perspective and it was done SO well. So many heartbreaking, sometimes horrifying moments throughout. The plot twist?! So good.
