King of Scars

I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS FANTASY KINGDOM

This had me consulting Wiki a bunch because I barely remember anything from the other books except that I love every character, but honestly it didn't impact my enjoyment.

Leigh Bardugo is so good at creating fully-realized characters to love and root for, and fantasy worldbuilding that makes sense and is complex and interesting without being totally fucking bewildering. IT'S EVERYTHING I WANT.
