This book is impressive - in scope, size, ideas, complexity. It scared the shit out of me at first - the page count, the description of multiple mirror worlds at war with one another during a cataclysmic cosmic event. Swords, sorcery, magic, sentient plants, assassins, alternate selves, reversed gender roles, extended family relations. It's all head-spinning and alien and oh, so amazing as only Kameron Hurley can do.
