I have read and enjoyed this - but I have also seen reviews about how badly slavery and the atrocities are handled in the story, and I find myself agreeing with them. So I'm taking away a star for this specifically.
So if you know a lot about history and slavery, don't read this. If you're a casual fantasy reader who doesn't care if slavery is glossed over - go for it.
