The first half felt like a cool mix of Kong Fu Panda and Mulan. It reflected on subjects like war orphans, the “meritocracy” for poor and rural people, and the effects of war on a country. When you reach the 300th page, the descriptions get so graphic and violent that i needed to take a break, specially because, excluding the magic, you just know that the animalistic acts really happen in real life.
After this part, the book focuses only on the revenge of the Speerlys and doesn't develop much more. Maybe the next book will help my curiosity.
Overall, was a good read
