Excerpt from the OCA Review/Analysis (https://tinyurl.com/yfc9trv4)

• "The world in [Crown Prince] ... not only features one history and one culture, there are numerous histories and numerous cultures shared by a diverse and interesting cast of characters. Each region and group introduces unique traditions, beliefs, and conflicts that intertwine seamlessly, creating a rich tapestry of perspectives ... making the world feel ... as though it exists far beyond the pages of the book."
