Wonderful world building and prose. I felt very connected to the characters and the land. If I wasn’t working, probably could’ve finished in a couple sittings because it was so gripping. Was mainly fantasy with a romantic subplot that I honestly felt was unnecessary in the grand scheme of things (probably biased because I would’ve preferred it not to happen given the age difference). There was a plot hole that I was surprised to not be addressed, but overall very very good. Will certainly be reading more of Naomi’s work.
