Definitely a book that kept me invested! For a book of true fantasy escapism, I would recommend this book. The world building, character building, romance, and plot weave together in a way that sucks you in. Lower than 4 stars because I don't think it's doing anything particularly new for the genre. Even so, I bet the whole series will be an engaging and easy read.

Very entertaining and engaging, an intriguing world with interesting characters. Writing style is simple and easy to understand, Maas has a love of overusing certain words like "tang" so if that bothers you you probably won't enjoy this.

Unfortunately we had an entire chapter of clumsy infodumping and the villain was too cartoony to take seriously, so I took a star off for that. Very heteronormative society as well, with characters making assumptions and statements that everyone is straight.

One of my friends is OBSESSED with this series and I’m reading it thanks to her. 
I didn’t expect a booktok book to be this well written. I really enjoyed the vibes/aesthetics of Prythian. 

I am also officially a Ne-stan, she can step on me anytime 😌 The other characters were a bit forgettable. 

I laughed out loud everytime a character was described as “purring”. I thought it made no sense that Amarantha would jeopardize 49 years of work for shits, giggles and a riddle too. 

I’m curious to read the other books in the series.
