I start with a review of Queen of the Conquered by Kacen Callender where I try to mention as few plot points as possible. Then I move into a discussion portion where I talk in depth about how this book ended and my thoughts on it.
Alternate title: In Which I am a Terrible Person, Make Wild Speculations, and Implore You to Think of the Children
