The Spear Cuts Through Water

Never have I ever wanted to reread a book immediately upon completion. That changed with this book. I'd give it six stars if I could. This is a book meant for savoring. It's not your fast paced, page-turning, knock it out in a day kind of read. It's the difference between that bite you grab in a cafeteria and the six course meal you have prepared by an incredible chef you had to wait years to experience. This is a book for lovers of mythology, epic battles, slow burns, fully fleshed out characters, representation, worlds you just want to fall into. Get the hardback if you can because the cover and end paper artwork are a perfect match to the stunner Jimenez creates on the page. Gorgeous.
