"Time for a pre-review, since it's a bit of a frustrating read and keeping in mind character limit. Hoping it gets better.
I expected it to be more of a cookie cutter fantasy, and on that point it hasn't disappointed.
Veradis is a symptom of the bigger problem with this book's characters: it feels as if the characters are blind to any possibility outside of their starting domain. Will not exceed 3â­�. Char limit hit..."

Carson McCullers
“There are all these people here I don't know by sight or by name. And we pass alongside each other and don't have any connection. And they don't know me and I don't know them. And now I'm leaving town and there are all these people I will never know.”
Carson McCullers, The Member of the Wedding

George Orwell
“Twenty million people are underfed but literally everyone in England has access to a radio. What we have lost in food we have gained in electricity. Whole sections of the working class who have been plundered of all they really need are being compensated, in part, by cheap luxuries which mitigate the surface of life.

Do you consider all this desirable? No, I don't. But it may be that the psychological adjustment which the working class are visibly making is the best they could make in the circumstances. They have neither turned revolutionary nor lost their self-respect; merely they have kept their tempers and settled down to make the best of things on a fish-and-chip standard. The alternative would be God knows what continued agonies of despair; or it might be attempted insurrections which, in a strongly governed country like England, could only lead to futile massacres and a regime of savage repression.”
George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier

Seneca
“If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you’re needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Things will come by themselves, without any effort...
Or will leave forever despite all efforts”
Rumi
