This book was expertly crafted. It is told from a story telling format and structured with brief sentences that break up paragraphs. The method of story telling and structure paired with the uniqueness that is unmatched to any other fantasy story I have ever read makes this novel stand out. Every single detail was relevant to the greater story line and every time I thought to myself this can’t get any stranger it did. The author includes POVs from everything from nature to corpses on the side of the road. This empire is dark and the tone and content of this book portrays that. You will feel ill and yucky but that is the intent of the author. Simply profound.
