This book was fantastic! It also confused me for an anthropology final I just wrote! Live and learn. the imagery was spot on and the details of the Inca and Spanish cultures were excellent. Just the right amount of embellishment here and there to carry the narrative.

The worldbuilding blew my mind! I found myself savouring this read (slowing the F down to enjoy it). I will definitely be looking for future fiction by this author. There are some mentions of incest in this book. none of these relationships are deeply discussed and are certainly not the focus. it merely there as cultural context. So, read with caution if you have trauma regarding such things, or if it is one of your squicks.
