Now, you’ve got me excited about this one. I may or may not be sobbing over the idea of there being diversity in the separate fantasy “races.” This is the kind of high fantasy novel I need in my life. Excellent review as usual!

Claudie Arseneault constructs a vast world with many characters in an intricate political fantasy thriller. The different plot lines were compelling and started to intersect as the book ended. Thankfully, this is a series and I expect this sweeping, grand fantasy political epic to continue in the same fashion as this book. And the book featured an extremely  diverse cast of main characters and supporting characters. I would highly recommend you check out this book and for more details, you can read my review! […]

Be still my beating heart! I have been waiting for this FOREVER. I never understood why all the Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, etc. always looked similar in my fantasy literature. What, they don’t have ethnicities or races? Illogical. I’ll certainly have to pick this book up in the future. Thanks for the great review, Brendon!

P.S. You gym is strangely purple/pink.

I have never read a book with a whole cast of LGBTQ+ cast. That, plus the political fantasy setting make this book a must-read! Thanks so much for introducing me to it. 🙂

Not specifically called out as in “This character is aro or ace” but this is not a story where romance and sex is the pivotal thing in relationships. There are romantic relationships, but they are minor. Friendship and partnership are highlighted, especially with particular characters. The author has said in the past this book has aro/ace representation and intentionally minimizes the role of romance and sex between characters.
