4.5

Manages to be both a flawless classic fantasy adventure and a genuinely unique and interesting new story but neither of those phrases properly express how much I love this book and how distraught I am that it doesn’t have a sequel. Possibly my favourite book of the year? Also the concept of the goblin wars is sick as hell?? And the worldbuilding feels so insanely organic and unique??? I have been well and truly Buehlmanpilled I fear.
