I loved this book way more than I was expecting to! I adored the characters and the lore, loved that even the smaller characters were fully fleshed out and not one sided. I have been wanting to explore the fantasy genre more and I feel like this book is a great gateway into that! The only reason it’s not five stars is because I wished there was more diversity and perhaps some LGBTQ rep. I also wasn’t much a fan of the spice scenes or the “bowels turned watery” line that repeated about three times 😂
