The book was a journey. The characters were fully flushed out. It was difficult not to see the parallel struggles that we see in America today and yet it didn't pull me from the story. This one will sit with me for a while. I liked the magic system was based on language.
loved this! and loved the literary references. My book club noted the difference in the audible version and the book version. The audible has a narrator that injected the footnotes which was helpful and the chinese characters were read in the chinese language which was great if you don't read chinese!!!
