Did I start yet another book? ... No comment...
This isn't ownvoices, but sensitivity readers were involved and the foreword gives all the right signs.
So far the story is very worldbuilding heavy which I think would bother most readers, but... I'm kind of eating it up, even if it sometimes gets a bit dry...

Ugh, I usually don't mind hunting scenes in my books, but there is something about whale-hunting that I find revolting. And it doesn't matter that it's framed with a respect to the animal here and that nothing goes to waste. I was still very firmly on the side of those humpbacks. I'm kind of questioning my morality here (pigs are really smart too and I eat them regularly).

I love marriage of convenience as a romance trope, but clearly, otherwise forced marriage is making reading a book almost impossible to me. I'm not even sure I want to finish it at this point...

Ugh, I hoped this wouldn't happen...
Also, the work with gender and pronouns is really interesting in this one, especially concerning Two Rivers. If this was a "regular" LGBTQ+ work I would say that she gets misgendered a lot, but that doesn't seem to be implied? (Well, unless it's Thunder Warrior...)
