Absolutely phenomenald a feat of fantasy writing. The only thing I'd change would have been for the ending to be slightly more fleshed out, but in terms of plot, worldbuilding, diversity/representatio  and character development, I cannot fault it. Shannon makes 800 pages rush by and totally absorbs the reader into this world and the lives of these wonderful characters.
