The best book I've read in a really long time! A super ambitious epic fantasy told in verse of King Xau, who is good and selfless to the point of saintly. As it's epic poetry, this works. There's lots of politics and war but also quiet, lovely moments. It made me laugh, cringe, cry, and sigh. Highly recommended. (CW: death, torture, gore)
