Refreshing and unique fantasy/sci-fi mix! The book takes on some dark themes (slavery, opression, racism) in a confrontational and unforgiving manner packed in a mysterious and intricate story. I'm quite a fan of the revealing the world through natural conversations appracoh the author took. I think it's more engaging that way. I also really enjoyed the difference in writing, between the three POVs. That is really well done. Overall really recommend.
