It's only January, but I'm pretty sure this book & this series is going to be my favorite I read this year, possibly one of the best I've ever read. The writing is exquisite, the characters are complicated & rich, the world building is captivating, and the plot keeps you wanting to read more (especially with chapters alternative POV). I absolutely cannot wait to continue reading more into this series. Run, don't walk to this series.
