I had fun with this one. The setting is unique, the world-building thorough (though as someone with a linguistics background I'd loved more detail on the Teixicalaan language), the plot interesting and the characters lovable. The dynamic between Three Seagrass and Twelve Azalea was especially fun. I look forward to the sequel!
