 I like the message of this book, but I'm not sure I can say the same about the technicalities. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of fantasy, I do enjoy it if it's well-written which was the case. However, I can't get behind authors trying to make it 'make sense'. It's one thing to present me with an unrealistic setting, it's another to try to rationalize it. I also missed a bit of worldbuilding. But otherwise, I enjoyed the story.
