I'll just be here... Staring at the wall, because it's March and I've just read my Fantasy book of the year.
I don't think I'm actually able to put into words how much I'm going to make this my whole personality.
Sciona is now one of, if not my top favourite, female main characters I've ever read. She is magnificent.
The world building blew me away and the social commentary and exploration of patriarchy, women's fight for equality, xenophobia, colonisation was unmatched.
And then, to top it all off... Thomil. No words!
Please, if you read any Fantasy book this year, read this!
