When I saw this book, I knew I was going to love it, but not this much. I can't stop thinking about it! The characters, the world, the story, the ending! It all spoke to me. Also the illustrations just added to the storytelling. Highly highly recommend, especially the audiobook. The narrator did an excellent job telling the story. If fact, a tandeum read is probably best.

A quick note: this is a book to take your time with. It seems like a simple revenge story, but the world, characters, gods, magic, and mythos is complex and needs to be savored.

Thank you to the publishers for a copy of the ebook and the audiobook in exchange for my honest review.
