I’m trying to think of a review for this that isn’t just damning it with faint praise. It was fine, It did some stuff that was incredibly interesting as fantasy does. But mostly it fumbles the question of redemption, so one appreciates the irony of me reading it on Yom Kippur. How do you make a bad character good is a compelling question and one this book...entirely fails to answer. Cool world building, major character issues. And so here we are.
