Awesome book! I have to admit that at first it did not engage me as much as I expected, but actually the story is very interesting since the beginning and from the middle of the book ahead it’s just wonderful. The way Narmina shows patriarchy in this fantasy world just as terrible and awful as it is nowadays is incredible. How she can describe the pain women suffer, from all ethnicities and places and how those who don’t belong to the binarism suffer it’s great. I’m really looking forward to the next book.
