I refuse to accept that this is only a one-book story, even if it's about 900 pages long.
I don't have much to say. It's a book you should read and experience, not read reviews about. The worldbuilding is fantastic and well interspersed with the story. The characters are multifaceted; you will love them in one chapter and hate them in the next one.
I preordered this book back in October, my physical copy hasn't arrived yet...so I just binge-read this monster of a book on my mother's Kindle. That is how good it is.
NOW STOP READING THIS REVIEW AND GO READ THE BOOK.

i think the first half was stronger than the second half, and i don't think i would reread, BUT i really enjoyed this book, it had some beautiful descriptions and some characters i found really compelling - i did not expect to be so pro-tané by the end of it but HERE WE ARE. i struggled between 3 and 4 stars but i've opted for 4 as overall i thought it was a good read
HOWEVER the ending felt like a real anticlimax for two reasons: the stakes didn't seem as urgent as they did halfway through the book where there were real consequences/casualties; and. when you have a book this long, i feel like the ending really has to land, and i'm not sure this one did.
i thought the world-building was really nicely done, and some of the characters were well fleshed out (although there were so many... and so many came to nothing...).

the fight against the Nameless One was such a let down?? i can't believe shannon hyped him up for so long and then he was just actually a bigger dragon... fyredel put in all that work and for what?!i thought the world-building was really nicely done, and some of the characters were well fleshed out (although there were so many... and so many came to nothing...).

Wow wow wow! Ok this beast of a book took me 2 weeks to read - but every minute that I was reading this I was enthralled.
900 pages of brilliant, sassy feminist fantasy with a breadth of characters and places that make your head spin (in a good way).
Fantasy is not my go-to genre but on this occasion I wanted a book to totally lose myself in and forget the outside world. I was 100% rewarded by my choice.
Someone PLEASE turn this into a TV series and soon!
This book definitely lives up to the hype.
Ead, Sabran & Tané I will miss you!
