What an insanely intense way to start a book, omg. My heart would’ve probably been hammering at the same rate even if I hadn’t been reading on a treadmill at 15% incline lol

Since I don’t give quarter stars in my personal rankings, I was struggling between a 4.5⭐️ and 5⭐️ for this book. Up until the last 10% or so, I thought for sure this would be a no notes-5⭐️ book, but the ending left me wanting slightly more. And in my personal opinion; the ending is paramount. However! I really do think you should read this book. So 5⭐️ it is.
I loved (and hated) how realistically Wang portrays themes like misogyny, non-intersectional feminism, racism, and imperialism. At times it is painful to read, especially if you’ve ever heard some of these phrases and opinions in real life. It is such a great look into the hypocrisy and horror of these ideologies and policies.
I do wish we had more Kwen characters in the book. Aside from Thomil, and later Carra, all we really get, before the end, is cameos by the bartender and the Mersyan janitor. I feel like if Sciona had taken more time to know and understand these people, it could’ve both added to her character development, as well as given the final chapter more meaning.
I will never be the same after reading this book, and I will absolutely be getting a copy for my personal library.

Some of the below series have heavily debated starting points and book read orders--in those cases the pilot was selected based on what seems to be the most popular approach.

A fantasy universe created by Sir Terry Pratchett, Discworld is a flat planet balanced on the backs of four elephants, which in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle. These are comedic novels that parody traditional fantasy tropes. All books can be read as standalones.

Alternate resolution than wherever this is going: we throw every single Tiranish man out the window.
Later edit: Ansel (the baker son) is allowed to live. Maybe.
