this was worth the hype: the writing was beautiful, the story was epic, the characters !!! i loved the characters so much. some of the side characters in this feel more fleshed out than MC in some books
i did find myself getting bored during some of Niclays’ POV and it definitely felt like it was 800pages which my adhd brain did struggle with at first. but once i hit the last 1/3 of the book i just steamed through it.
still would recommend for fantasy lovers who want a side of sapphic romance and strong female characters (AND A SWEET PRECIOUS LITTLE GUY)
