The bad: it was so much like The Name of the Wind

The good: it was so much like The Name of the Wind

Final Verdict: the diversity rep was nice, the writing was good, the similarities between The Name of the Wind kept me invested but it was hard to not compare the two while reading the book. I will probably read the sequel, and I could appreciate it as it's own story.
