No strong representations of diverse characters or minority identities.
Quick Take: A beautifully rich high fantasy that incorporates all the best parts of mythology–magic, the ancestry of gods, and a save-the-world quest–made all the more gripping by its earnest exploration of two sisters who would go through hell for each other. However, the plot's climax revealed my apathy towards the quest's fulfillment–saving the Queen didn't feel like much of a success, given everyone I connected to had to suffer for it–making the novel not as enjoyable.
