A heavy read with poignant notes on racism, colonialism, misogyny, and the systems that benefit. The beginning was a little rough for me as the magic system felt overly complicated, but I quickly got hooked by the characters and their worldview-shattering growth arcs. This book will be sticking with me for a while.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Gore, Misogyny, Racism, Sexism, Religious bigotry, Gaslighting, Colonisation, and Classism
Moderate: Sexual assault
