I'm a sucker for framed tales, as well as for morrality in my fiction. This book contains plenty of both. It's thoughtful, yet easy to read, with an interesting[return]and fun plot and characters. The message, on power and society, is a powerful one. The point it makes isn't new, and I'm sure it's been made many times[return]before in fiction, but this is still an original take and worth the read.
Reviews and Comments
I'm a completely blind reader of LitRPG, progression fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, and some nonfiction. Interact with me @fastfinge@iceshrimp.social as well as here.
Some important warnings:- Some of the content creators I enjoy publish exclusively to Kindle Unlimited or Audible Originals. I choose to support the creators I enjoy, rather than boycott Amazon. If you don't want to see Kindle or Audible Books, you may want to avoid my profile.
- I don't agree with the views of some of the authors I read, or support some of the political views contained in the books I consume. I rate books based exclusively on my enjoyment of the story.
- Some of the books I read contain adult material, that may include, but is not limited to, sexual activity, violence, harems, reverse harems, FFM, F/M, and F/F. I will do my best to warn about this material using the tools bookwyrm provides, so that those who don't want this content can avoid it.
- I believe that audiobooks and ebooks are reading, in every way equal to printed hardcover books. If you do not, your engagement is unwelcome.
