2020 book 127

Jen Williams' The Ninth Rain
Ah, the delight of sinking into the first book of an epic fantasy series. Great world building here, all sorts of witches, and a weird religion that imprisons and uses the witches, and dead tree gods, and scholars, and another kind of people that sometimes drink human blood, and there’s of course a fair amount of tension, and every few hundred years some worm people invade their land. There is a minor amount of romance that I imagine will build in later books (so far 2/3 relationships are queer) that I found enjoyable. I found all of this enjoyable! This plot description probably sounds weird but it’s great and I loved this, totally engrossing and cool! A/A-.
