CWs: (view spoiler)

“The world can’t hurt you if you just ignore it; well, not until it kills you anyway.”

This book shouldn’t make any sense at all but I swear it makes more sense than any other fantasy I’ve read before. This is one of the best books, the ones where you can just sit back and let them take you for a ride because you have no idea what’s even going to happen in the next sentence.

also September 2021

Wait this is gonna be a TRILOGY??? What a thing to drop in your Acknowledgements holy sh*t

Anyway, I’m ready for book two! More cities that are alive and have human avatars, please!
