I might finish the series when I’m more in the mood for a romantasy but as of right now I feel like I’ve read it before

Best book I have read in a while. Adding to my favorites shelf.
It had everything I loved about fantasy in it: badass heroine; beautiful imagery/world-building, and an intriguing (but not overwhelming) romantic storyline.

DID NOT FINISH: 34%

Did not capture me, I wanted escapism fantasy and this had too many parallels to reality as well as a lot more triggers than I was expecting

What a good book! I was worried I wouldn't like it but the world building was gorgeous and the storytelling was clear and interesting. I'm so excited to read the next one! Fans of Throne of Glass, don't sleep on this!
