The best book I've read in a while! A lovely read. I could use so many more words to describe it. Heartwarming, tender, exciting, satisfying. The story of a man who sees himself as broken but is worth so much more than he realizes. All the best things for Cazaril.
When the souls rise up in glory, yours shall not be shunned nor sundered, but shall be the prize of the gods' gardens. Even your darkness shall be treasured then, and all your pain made holy.
