“The body holds the body. The arms hold the spear. And the spear cuts through water” (486).
Apologies to anyone who speaks to me in the next few days because you will be hearing about this book - it might be my latest obsession.
Everything about this book was beautiful and unique. It’s one of the few stories that isn’t just a book, it’s an experience and the reader is very much a part of it (page 410 had me squealing because it was so cool).
If you only read one epic fantasy book in your life, let it be this one.
