I loved this. It's a book full of people doing their best, caring about each other even when it doesn't totally make sense, but also a book that doesn't shy away from the realities and practicalities of existing in a complicated world where there are no nice good tidy options.

It did an excellent job carrying me to the end in a tidal wave, and I am SO MAD that the third book isn't due out for nine months how could she DO this to me

I'd forgotten just how much I love the magic system in these books! I don't read enough magical fiction to know how novel it is, but it's different from a lot of what I have seen, and is clever and well-integrated into the world, in a way that drives a lot of plot and consequences, big and small.

@WelshPixie So convenient when the "want to read" button is right there :D

Excited to dive back into this world!

@WelshPixie Oh yeah, this has been on my mental list for a while! Now it's on my actual list :)

This book was so wonderful. Open and honest and full of heart. I cried about how good everyone was, even when things were hard. I think Darius the Great just might be okay, finally, and I'm proud of him.
