This book was amazing, and funny, and thrilling and beautiful. Wurts' writing is startlingly poignant and aggressively different than the majority of fantasy writing. She packs in details about things that makes the world feel more real (ex. horse/horse riding knowledge). The main characters were fascinating and very appealing, the world itself has so many mysteries I can't wait to read more. This book plays on a lot of fantasy tropes, exploring them from different angles and confronting ugly aspects of fantasy/quest/prophecy stories that are often overlooked. Can't wait for what's in store.
