5.0

The book portrays complex and competing character motivations and emotions in such a realistic way. The characters make understandable wrong choices and they never feel two dimensional or young, though they are. 

The book is very diverse, features lots of LGBTQIA+ representation, touches on darker themes such as slavery and colonialism, and also is enemies to lovers. It makes for a book that deals in heavy topics in a way that is intriguing.

The world building feels appropriately mysterious, conflicting views of origin stories and myths and legends.
