This book almost pulled 'The Hero of Ages' at me. I was screaming till I wasn't. Thank youuuuuu for not making me read the ending in a haze of tears!!! Anyway, this is the best book I've read in a while. The writing style, the story, the narrative style, the characters, they were all amazing. It's a bit confusing in the beginning but it pays off tenfold if you stick with it. The tortoise 🐢 phones reminded me of Den Den Mushi 🐌Loved Jun and Keema so much that when the story went on a tangent near the end, I almost lost it! The audiobook was beautifully narrated. Going to get the physical copy so I can gaze at it lovingly!
