Read this in about 3 hours: it's a lovely story with a great flow. I particularly loved the characters, a young, non-binary cleric, an old woman with a great life story, and the time they spend together while telling a story. The back cover reads "An epic in miniature, beautifully realized" (Zen Cho), or "At once epic and intimate, this story of revenge, power, and the weight of history is a small, masterful jewel" (Aliette de Bodard)--- and I couldn't say it better myself. Strong recommendation from me.
