4.0

Fascinating modern fantasy that I found very gripping. Lovable characters. A cool world with rules unlike any I’ve seen before. Unique and original. What I want in fiction.

I’d recommend it to people who like fantasy and books like Gideon the Ninth, or Ancillary Justice, or Ursula Le Guin.

I did find it hard to follow at times and wish the author would use “the audience not knowing the world as a way to create intrigue” less. But I was captivated.
