As someone who doesn’t really read fantasy, this is such a good intro series for fantasy! The character development + world building are great. I love how SJM writes with little “Easter eggs” tying her books together, on to the next!

The best book so far in this series! The last dozen chapters had me pacing and gasping and squawking and yelling and nearly crying while following the action!

I love the expansion of the world in this book - so many new characters to meet and so much information. The end was so intense, I feel like I've been on such an emotional rollercoaster but I'm not mad about it.
