this is one of the greatest books i've ever read. it took a lot to get through the author's explanation of the magic system (it almost felt like physics), but it makes sense for the story. the themes of classism, religion, and feminism are strong and well portrayed. the character development is top tier. the twists in the story just kept coming, and they felt like punches to the gut, in the best way. sometimes i love a book while reading it but the ending falls flat for me. that was not the case here. the ending was so beautifully done; emotional, raw, and satisfying. highly recommend.
