      Every review of the book said the ending was gut wrenching and after reading it halfway through I can kinda see how it will happen. I didn't drop it per se but waiting for the right time to finish it, when I hope not be too affected by ending.

        yea, totally feel you. I'm not sure such a time exists - it's uniquely devastating - but I can say it was extremely worth it, overall.

          I hear ya. Till where I did read the book, it was one of the most refreshing take on fantasy I've seen.

          Spoilers

          Currency inflation, what its effect would be and how it can be used to one's advantage was not something I was expecting in a fantasy book . And that's just one of the many interesting things present in the book. I'm definitely gonna read it at some point but I'm a very moody reader with an aversion to tragic endings lol.

            when you finish it, please send me a note! I'm also moody but I like the catharsis of tragedy - crying feels good.
