NOTES Easily my favorite series ever, everything about this series I love and hold dear to my heart. The world is the most expansive and immersive world I have ever been a part of. We get to slowly explore and learn about every single aspect of the world—from the towns to the continents, everything is teeming with love and detail. The characters, even one-off side characters, are each so well-developed and have their own unique ambitions and outlook on the world. The magic system, while you would expect it to be overdone and cliche, manages to be so much fun and, since the system is tailored to the individual character, allows for infinite possibilities. Most importantly, the emotional impact that this story has and how it manages to make me feel, even for the silliest things, is top top top tier. I don't have enough good things to say about this series. There is truly something for everyone here. The only negative (which is actually a positive for me) is that it is absolutely ginormous. There are ~11,970,740 words in this series and more than than LOTR, Harry Potter, and ASOIAF combined and counting. I took a break at Vol 8 to find time to read other series that were put on hold for too long. The series recently wrapped up Vol 9 and is working on Vol 10. If you are looking for a story to be immersed in, this is the one right here.

pirateaba recently revised many parts of Volume 1 so there is no better time than right now to start reading TWI!!!
