Loved the premise and
dwarves were so interesting. I think I enjoyed them the most. Also, the inclusion of fencing championship was duch a good idea. It was intense haha.


What actually suprised me the most during this re-read is how expansive the lore and the worldbuilding is. The mix of all different mythological creatures is very refreshing and it is done in a way that it makes so much sense that they exist together. I also love the siblings dynamic, it's realistic and you can see how their relationship is developing through out the series.
