5.0
Loved:
- the qoutes at the beginning of the chapters, because they added to the worldbuilding
- the worldbuilding
- the characters
- the stories and what those tell us about ourselves vs what the outsiders tell themselves about us
- how a blind person can be very capable indeed with their hightened senses
- superstition (everyone has something)
- crows (obviously, Corvus cornix is my favourite bird, has been since I remember)
For me, the weakest character was Naranpa, because she reminded me so much of my past self. Trying to be Good, overcoming her roots, so focused on the future that she wants that doesn't realize what's happening in the present, waiting to be saved by someone else etc.
Once upon a time my favorite character was in a certain series that we don't talk about anymore. After that I didn't have any, but now... I've met Xiala.
She is storyteller, a captain, a free spirit (and she can't go home). I aspire to be more like her.
Just don't ask me to Sing.
