If I could give it 6stars, I would.
This is one of the best fantasy books I have ever read.
Racism, classism, misogyny. All packed into a world with a magic system so intertwined with religion it INFURIATES you.
I'll leave you with two quotes that have engraved themselves on my soul.
"You're all so far gone that you can't tell a human soul from food for your own ambitions"
"Each gear turned tidily into its neighbor in a soul-grinding system designed to sustain the men who had named the pieces and made them so: damsel, devil, servant, wife."
Read. This. Book.
