At first, I struggled with this book. But this is truly one of the best and most unique novels I’ve ever read. A must-read for fantasy lovers.
It is an incredible story that thrusts you into the raw and grim life of the Stillness, and the many peoples who fight to survive within it. When readers preface this book (and the trilogy as a whole) with “It’s hard to describe what this book is about because everything is a spoiler!” They truly mean it. Every development of the story is a twist or reveal that had my jaw on the floor.
