It took me about 6 chapters across 2 days before I finished the rest of the book across 2 😂 it’s been a while since I had a book roped me in like that: I’m very new to the fantasy genre but what a great read. Food
Character build, clever dialogue, and good context setting - everything took as long as it needed to in my opinion. Looking forward to the sequel
