One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. This book consumed my every thought for a few days after reading and I’m eagerly working on the rest of the series. The only reason it is not 5 stars is because the author uses rape and sexual assault as a plot device in an odd way. It is constantly mentioned, and seemingly vital to some characers’ stories. Yet it’s somehow always on the periphery, so content warnings don’t show it but they’re inescapable. Really messed with my immersion when I had to listen to characters throw in threats and stories of raping people along with their villainous plans.
