This is the mist PERFECT book I’ve ever read. I bought it on a whim because it looked interesting and I would have NEVER guessed it could be this spectacular. The writing was so incredibly satisfying, it never made me feel stupid or stuck and was SO engaging.
Reading this felt like watching a movie. The battle scenes were incredible and intense for literally being words on paper. It is on PAR with actual movies with how dramatic it is.
The plot in this had me HOOKED. Everything felt deliberate and so genius, there was never a part in the book where I was particularly confused about what was happening.
This was the most articulate and impactful representations of a Male dominant world and every thing that the Main character did I rooted for.
TRIANGLES ARE INDEED THE STRONGEST SHAPE!!!
