Merchants of Knowledge and Magic by Erika McCorkle

5.0

Will give this 4.5/5 stars!

Let me give you a list of why I like this book:
- The complex world-building, as a high fantasy book theme, is well-crafted here. Wow. I really like how the author wrote down and detailed its world-building. Not easy to understand, I know, but once you get into the story, you'll know that it is superb!
- The tense atmosphere and the explicit adult themes that surround the plot everywhere. In short, it's the plot as a whole! Daaaamn. I like it!
- A lot of LGBTQ representation here. And the difficulties they face, too, are written in detail.

I kinda don't like where the glossary is placed, though. And even though it's beautifully written, it tended to make me sleepy.
