The Ninth Rain

Well, SHIT I loved this. It's been a hot minute since I've read something like The Ninth Rain. Feels like a classic fantasy, but there are some genuine sci-fi bits thrown in, too. I'd been missing a good ol' fantasy novel, and well, I got that. Loved the tropes seen here! Truth be told, I'm a little sad I didn't pick this one up sooner! It was so much fun. There was representation abound – gay characters, bi characters, characters of color, and all sorts. Nothing was ‘taboo' or made to seem weird inside the world, either. Loved it.

The Ninth Rain was just chock full of originality, and teeming with awesome characters. I really, really love Tor, and Vin. Noon was a little wishy-washy for me at first, buuuuuut as the book goes on I ended up loving her, too. I honestly can't wait to find out what happens next – I'll be hopping right into the sequel now, actually!
