It is rare for my heart rate to be this accelerated while reading. An excellently written battle scene. Might need a break to get my pulse back in control

This book does seem a little self indulgent with the world building. It's good all of these things were thought and worked out but I do wonder if we as the reader needed to know, if it serves the story we experience for us to be told.

Kissing has always seemed strange to me. Who came up with it and why? How does something that seems so fundamental to romantic love not exist in every culture? Why is it so ubiquitous in ours?

As much as I admire the world building there's a lot to keep track of. And the differing units of time really takes me out of it every time
