I loved this book! A map was at the heart of the story (a geographer's fav), critical discussions about justice and how to achieve it, plus more twists and turns than I anticipated! So excited for book two!

There were some writing choices that I felt needed refinement (using common, contemporary phrasing in a fantasy book) but the themes were far more complex than I had imagined, and I'm very excited for the second book!
