I couldn’t put the book down! I had been procrastinating reading this based on the number of pages, but once I started, I couldn’t stop. There were some confusing parts that I honestly still don’t quite get, but it all comes together in the end. The writing was beautiful and didn’t hold back from discussing some tough subjects like grief and justice. Some aspects of the world were very realistic for a fantasy book. I do think I need to process some of the events that happened, so I would recommend checking trigger/content warnings.
Falada’s death broke me
I would say that the later half of the book is a bit darker, so just keep that in mind.
