This book got me back into reading fantasy and science fiction novels.
I usually avoid fantasy because of the over the top, boring world-building that makes the book boring and a tiresome read.
It's actually feminist not like most depictions of strong women with a kickass female protagonist that literally destroys the patriarchy.
The only complaints I have this this book is that the ending didn't satisfy me and the magic system is a bit strange.
