Grave Empire by Richard Swan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
Thank you NetGalley and Orbit Books for letting me read this book early! All my thoughts are my own.

This starts off as any typical high fantasy novel; magic, intrigue, lots of world building. But, unfortunately even with all that I had to DNF this at 20%. It wasn’t the slow world building, or even the multitude of random places that can cause confusion, but rather one scene in particular. I just…can’t continue after this scene (and unfortunately don’t want to spoil the book for others). It felt very stereotypical of an 80s high fantasy scene, but in this day and age was just so misogynistic and unnecessary. Perhaps it had some context from the first series? But as a new reader to the series it just gave me the ick and I couldn’t read further. 2⭐️

Thank you NetGalley and Convergent Books for giving me early access to this book! All opinions are my own.

This book is absolutely mind blowing. It should be a must read for every parent! So much so, that as soon as I finished this ARC I immediately preordered a physical copy for me to have on hand. The ideas are easily accessible, and feel easy to incorporate into day to day life. I cannot wait to use these techniques with my own children! 5⭐️
