A beautiful and cosy book. I only wish it had been longer.

Absolute load of nonsense. 

There was no clear structure to this at all. It felt, ironically, like the author wrote it by rolling a dice to decide what to make happen next. Entirely making it up as they went along with no forward planning at all. 

I read this book for bi rep but I don't think it even qualifies as that. Don't waste your time with this one.

I loved reading this. I can see the parallels people have made with this and The Kingkiller Chronicles too.

I think my only qualm with this story was that it was released in 2021/22 and it lacks any queer characters!! There were perfect opportunities to have some queerness in there, both for the main character and for background characters and there were none which was disappointing. Apart from that though, a very good read! I'm looking forward to reading the next one.

The main motivation for reading this was for the Brokeback Mountain story and if course this was the very last one in the book and the best out of them all which is the reason for the extra .25 on this rating.

This was wall written but i didn't enjoy it. This iis not a collection of happy stories by any means.
