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-.
