this book has been sat on my bookcase for over a year. i have been so scared to read it because of the hype but also the size. But once i picked it up i could not put this book down. i read it 24 hours and loved it. this book transported me completely with the worldbuilding and the characters. they way we are put into the world and how it builds up around you with the plot, characters, world building and even religion. The main characters felt so real with how they were wrote and how much thought got put into them and the complexity of them. This book is very much a favourite of mine. i loved the mix of tropes it had and how well they all impacted the story.
