HOLY SHIT THIS BOOK!!!!! IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED!!!!
Not gonna lie, I was confused for a good chunk of it about some things but that kept me sucked in the story because I wanted my questions to be answered, and when they were IT WAS SO GOOD AND UNEXPECTED and some parts of the story made so much more sense and my mind was blown.

Even though it seems as if it is a typical fantasy world with magic and a tyrannical king, the world that Chee creates is different. This is because the reader not only discovers the secrets to this fantasy world, but the reader gets to rediscover literacy and the significance of a symbol which represents a s
