Sad that I reached the last page of this book, and grateful that I finally experienced reading it and regret all the times I spent thinking maybe I won’t like this book and above all, heartbroken about the fact that I can’t read this book like the first time ever again.

I read this book after I felt it came highly recommended and I wanted to dig my teeth into something with epic fantasy and NOT written by a man. I had high hopes and I feel as though they were mainly met. The book had such an intricate world with dragons and wyrms and other mystical creatures. I also love the female leads of this story it was great to see women not seen in the beginning as weak and only human but they’re just generally being badass from the start. And the love story was such a good queer love story that really was a pillar of the story and really kept me reading throughout.
My main issues with the book are the beginning felt slow and the end rapid. The work building was intricate but sometimes the perspective change between chapters would take me right out of the story and I would put the book down. Then when I picked it back up I’d have to completely reorientate myself back into not only a different character but in a different area and figure out where I was geographically (picture lots of flicking back and forth to the map at the front). When I finally had my bearings of the characters I did really start to enjoy the story and I felt as though everything was building beautifully you could see how everyone interlinked and where it was leading and I was like yes this is it but then the ending I found was a bit anticlimactic like yes there was an epic battle but compared to how long had been spent setting up the world and the story I felt like the ending was minuscule in comparison and also quite predictable in a way? And just a bit like here’s the perfect solution to our problem and everyone survived?
But overall I still give the book 4 stars as 3 doesn’t give it the justice it deserves and because it was so refreshing to read an epic fantasy that was actually fantasy with a romantic subplot and not a Romantasy and without naked women appearing every 10 pages. Overall I really enjoyed it.

Es verdad que cuando empecé a leer era mucha información y sentí que se hacía muy pesado. Pensé hasta en no leérmelo (y lo abandoné por unos meses). Me alegra haberlo terminado. SO GOOD.
Muy bien escrito. Muy equilibrado. Muy interesante. Muy original.
