I had so much fun with this book, oh my goodness. What a fun adventure. There was something epic going on, on every page. The magic system is EVERYTHING, the setting is so beautiful and atmospheric, I really enjoyed every character including the villains. I loved this book so much I stopped in the middle of my reading to make a Pinterest board for it. This is the real deal.
I adore how the author doesn't hold anything back. The characters are so unapologetically apart of and in tuned to their culture. The villains are ACTUAL villains but are still layered and not corny. Our protagonists have such a realistic dynamic as they endure all these negative aspects of their journey. It's so entertaining.
The only reason this book isn't a 5 star read is because at one point I thought the characters started to bleed into each other a bit. This novel has multiple points of view, and sometimes, I would forget whose eyes I'm reading through because they talk so similarly to one another.
Other than that, no notes. Everyone read this now.
