On Bluesky, there's a monthly book club that seems to be mostly "I always meant to read that" selections, and this is one of those books. I'm so glad I decided to participate because, yes, this is worth reading. ("Sara, this book is one of the best known..." YEAH I KNOW, but sometimes you gotta state the obvious.)

Some of the deaths and uh..... relations.... are a bit hard to stomach, but that's part of the point of the book and isn't just because of changing times. You'll also have to flip back to the family tree at the beginning in order to keep track of all the Aurelianos. The rest is a wild ride of magic and devastation, and it's a masterclass of descriptive writing.
