Extremely brave account of weight and trauma
Roxane Gay's deeply moving, hard-hitting biographical account of rape and its consequences is harrowing and triggering. The profound impact it had on her life goes to explain all her decision making as a result. Not to explain away her feelings of her weight, but it shows a small tenet of how trauma can have such devastating results. It can be a little repetitive from a literary perspective but it's well worth all the kudos.

I really struggled with the second age books. This, the first volume, takes some time getting used to, moving from a more traditional fantasy setting into something of a Western setting. The magic system has changed somewhat due to what happened in the first trilogy, so it is good to see how a character with access to only one metal's power compares.
A good book on its own, if you can handle the western setting, but nothing compared to the first age trilogy.
