A very good read, and a really delightful magic system and world—both of which serve the overarching message of the book. Really incisive and well put together, but my only complaint is the dialogue could really stretch on. I tend to prefer a bit more show than tell.

Moderate: Racism, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, and Sexual harassment
Minor: Animal cruelty, Homophobia, Infertility, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Cannibalism, Colonisation, and Injury/Injury detail
