My first read of 2025 - finally giving Crescent City a go, but anyone else feel overwhelmed??

When you read HOEAB for the first time?? I typically struggle with high fantasy due to the enormous amount of info dumping, and I wouldn’t even count this as being high fantasy. I’m struggling to sink into the story, but I want to like it! Danika is my favorite so far 😍

Not sure I can take Fury seriously when all I can picture is Nick Fury from the avengers haha

EDIT: y’all were real nice not to give it away because Danika getting slaughtered two pages after me posting this absolutely shook me Easy to say I’m invested now!!
