Priory puts so much more focus on its characters, their role in society, their hopes and dreams, growth and their relationships. And none of the characters is perfect, it's not black and white, and for that I loved (most of) them even more. And there are stakes! Characters actually die and it's heartbreaking but also it made me a lot more emotionally invested in the story. I even had moments when I thought that

My struggle with high fantasy is keeping track of characters, but the author is amazing and has a glossary of characters and definitions in the back. đđ»

I think it was a cool concept. I definitely enjoyed that it was normalized in the society for queens to rule, the line of succession was only based on eldest & not gender, race wasnât an issue it was merely regional (it wouldnât be so regional if the plague didnât exist), & there were sapphic storylines.
All in all, I liked this book. It was interesting. Near the 650pg mark, I did wish it was over. I didnât find myself WANTING to pick it up. I wanted to READ and thatâs a huge difference for me. I didnât give up because I felt like it had to be worth it in the end. I donât think it was. The entire book mounted to this huge end battle and it wasnât amazing or unbelievable. It was predictable and nothing shocking occurred.
