this book was an Entire Experience for me as i am currently undergoing trauma therapy. my trauma is not in the SA realm so the content was not triggering for me personally and it was deeply soothing to read trauma informed language in a fantasy book. i imagine this could be quite difficult if SA is where your trauma lies so YMMV here. 

i think perhaps the writing was clunky and maybe overall not entirely my favorite subgenre of high fantasy. i also kind of don’t think that bothered me that much, and i enjoyed it deeply regardless.
