The world and character building in this book is truly remarkable, so many layers of storytelling with beautiful writing and breathtaking narration. 

I would highly recommend listening to the audiobook, I don’t think reading it myself would’ve given this story the justice the narrator does. 

This is a must read for any fantasy, sci-fi and dystopian book lovers. Possibly the best series I’ve ever had the pleasure to read.
