The world building of Kristin Cashore is truly incredible and that’s what bumped this up from 3.75 to 4 stars. I liked the writing of Graceling better but I truly appreciate the explanation and exploration of Leck, Monsea and Bitterblue. It’s truly an epic story, if imperfect and hard to follow at some points.
Also reading this for the first time at 26 but first knowing the series as a YA…. It is DARK
