Classic story. Lots of people and places, not necessarily fleshed out in a satisfying way.

I loved every second of this book but I thought the ending was a bit rushed

I can't believe I waited so long to read this book! It wasn't what I thought it would be, and the world building was expansive. I got sucked in to the story like any good high fantasy book, and it was incredible. One of my favorite reads of this year, even though it was long.

I absolutely loved and devoured this book and I hope they make it into a series. Didn’t want it to end, so many twists, turns, storylines that weaved together so gracefully. Favorite read of last year!
