My Review:
Did I like this book? Absolutely. Did it feel much longer than it was? Yes.
So overall, I liked what was going on. We had some clear worldbuilding, cool characters and well-developed backstories and relationships, etc. There was a lot of struggle, but none of it seemed to drag down the plot. I actually kept track of who was who and around 75% of what was going on even though usually I can account for maybe 50% (Publishers, that’s a joke I swear I’m qualified),
The one issue I had was how slow this book seemed to go. I can’t tell what made it take so long for me to read, maybe it was the amount of different POVs, but I read 300 pages of another book in an afternoon and barely got through 20 of this one. I liked reading it, but it took a while.
Overall I’d totally recommend this book as a well-written adult fantasy with a lot of magic and some rebellion and political intrigue.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
