This book is really odd but kept me reading. It’s weirdly mundane for a fantasy book. Almost slice of life. I hated most of the characters except the main character. Not in that they were poorly written way but in that they are bad people way. It’s really more about world building than the characters themselves. I finished the book with more questions than answers and honestly excited to read the next one.
