Did not live up to expectations. Not a bad story by any stretch, but I didn’t find it an enjoyable one either. From a longtime lover of epic fantasy, this one was… fine. A decent mix of Arthurian legend and Eastern Asian myth, but fairly predictable all the way through.
Graphic: Miscarriage and Xenophobia
Moderate: Gore, Vomit, Suicide, and Infertility
Minor: Blood and Addiction
