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.

One of those rare books where you're sad when it's over, not because the ending is sad, but because you don't want to leave the world it built.

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.
