This is just a really solid book. reread it as an audiobook because I needed a refresher going into the next book in the series and I just really enjoyed it. It's so comforting despite the more emotionally challenging scenes, and I can relate to Fitz so much and his journey of growing up trying to figure out who he is. A lot of the worldbuilding still goes over my head, but I at least can appreciate how unique it is.

I liked it I think?

It's such an odd book because there's no main plot-line aside from watching the main character grow up, but I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the main character and to slowly discover the setting. It was a tad slow-moving at times and I didn't find it to be a page turner so I couldn't give it 5, but it makes me really hopeful for the rest of the series once it starts to pick up a bit.
