    “I had wanted to read this epic since for years and when I finally found it at a local coffee shops free library - I watched someone beat me to it, pick it up, and take it. She told me she’d bring it back here when she finished it. It’s 900+ pages. I hope she brought it back. I got my own copy and loved it. Fantastic settings and compelling characters - some of it’s even true! warning - it’s a very white boy in Indian coded. But still a good immersive doorstop.”
