Content warning Spoilers on writing style ahead.
It's an interesting book with so many details and reveals that it's probably worth reading it a second time to get to see how many things that were hiding in plain sight that one missed on the initial read of the book. How the story is presented is similar and probably inspired by ||The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss||, the one big downside of this style of writing is that the we know certain things from the start of the story, ||like that the storyteller won't die.|| Other than that is it an interesting and well paced story with quite a few surprises.
