What I love about it: The worldbuilding. Sword-fighting as singing. A fantasy race practically born to fight. They grow their stone swords from their arms! And a shapeshifting race that adapts to anything. And a super competent, ornery failboat who falls in love and does it all wrong with aborted, frustrated sex in the middle and misunderstandings and an ending that makes you feel it. With a super fun brother for lighthearted commentary through some of the rough bits. (I love Eroico.)
