Wow, what a book! I can't even properly put my thoughts into words. The worldbuilding is great with unique twists (warring races/nations aren't new, but the lore behind them sure is special enough to shine bright), the characters are multidimensional and compelling (with both endearing and infuriating traits), and all the emotional plot twists with slowly revealing information are just... *chef's kiss*. I can't wait to get to the sequel when it is published!
//After reading this I came across multiple reviews and commentaries of this book showing how this book has a trope of continuously negating a woman rejecting a man, and the potentially dangerous real-life consequences of enforcing this kind of mindset. This made me drop down my rating vy a star, as I agree. That aspect of the plot could have been handled better.
