I went in with moderate expectations and came out a devoted fan. The world-building alone would justify the read, but it's the characters who make it unforgettable.

This is the kind of book I'll press into people's hands with a slightly unhinged look in my eyes. One of the best I've read this year without a doubt.

This is exactly the kind of book I'd recommend to someone who wasn't sure if they'd like the genre. Safe, well-made, and engaging without being demanding.

This is the book I'll point to when I try to explain why I read so much. It reminded me what literature is actually for.
