I can be nervy about self-published books, but I'm so glad my book club chose to read this. Such amazing scope, fantastic worldbuilding and remarkable characters.  

The start was a little slow for me, and I didn't feel all of the side-backstory stuff (or their resolutions) blended in super well with the rest of the book; but a great read overall. I felt *so many feelings* reading this.
