A beautiful book that highlights the impact of colonialism on people and how they have been perceived in western countries historically. A fascinating magic system and loveable characters make this book one that I would recommend to pretty much everyone! It is hefty though.
Moderate: Misogyny, Physical abuse, Racism, Religious bigotry, Colonisation, and Classism
