First fantasy book of the year!! Surprisingly, I enjoy it more than I thought I would. The pace was kinda off in the beginning because of the world building, probably all fantasy books are like that so no big deal. But I enjoy reading the rest of the book, and like Jude, I also have a list of people I'd like to kill if I live in the same universe.

When you read this book, trust. no. one. And chapter 20?
Too much deaths in one chapter. But who am I to complain? Go Queen Jude.
