Oooooh baby I loved this thing. The length of it feels daunting but it is NOT A SLOG. There's so much character development and really top notch world building. I fucking loved this book.
Editing to note that this is high fantasy and if you do not like the formal language of classic high fantasy you probably won't like this. The language is very formal but the story is an absolute 10/10 for me. And also I eat that silly high fantasy language up.
