Nothing particularly new or original, but it sates the romantasy hunger. A slow start with likable characters that cause more harm to themselves than anything else in the plot. Lightweight spice scenes has it leaning slightly more towards adult than YA, and a solid ending that had me immediately ordering the next books. Perfect for fans of Maas, Armentrout, and Broadbent.

Really well written. Could tell from the start it was going to be a great story. Has all the elements of fantasy we love, maps and realms and secrets.

This was really good! More focused on fantasy than romance so it's not a spicy one - although the romance is still good with a healthy amount of tension and steam. Strong FMC but reckless. This story really sees her grow and struggle with trying to find her path in life. Interesting world and political dynamics. Morally grey everywhere. Solid plot, however, I did find it a bit predictable. There's a lot of repetition and the foreshadowing is more direct than I think was intended, making it feel a bit like telling and overexplanation. Overall though, a great read!
