NOTE: I definitely reviewed this when I first read it, but I think there was a glitch of some kind and I couldn't find my review on the book page, only in my review history. The review has been replicated here, which might slightly mess up my overall stats but it's fine.

An incredible, breathtaking modern (as in, recently published and diverse in a lovely way) fantasy. I love when you reach the end of a book and go "!!! I knew it!!!". I will be continuing this series as soon as I clear my library backlog!
