In conclusion: read this book.

And also House of Leaves because it is also excellent, compelling, and utterly confusing. I've read that one at least 3-4 times and still can't describe the plot coherently.

I *love fantasy religions and cults 😅

I live fantasy religion/cults, they're so fun to play with. Really like that only the King can use magic at will. I hope we'll get to learn more about what exactly that means!

Interested to hear more about this! I like the idea of society changing from one magic system to another, like adopting a new technology almost.
