This book gave me strong high fantasy vibes. I spent the first while confused because so many names, nicknames, words, and languages were thrown at me and although I got more used to it as the book went on even by the end I was still confused. That’s on me I’m sure as the reader but I also didn’t enjoy the romance (either of them) or the characters, or the fight scenes.. I dunno this was a dark high fantasy but I didn’t connect to any of it and the constant pov change and many tiny chapters felt exhausting to me.

Tbh, I found it hard to stay focused on the audiobook, so I feel like I missed a lot.

I really loved this book!! The first 160 pages was too slow!! Hard to get in to. But after that I forgot I was reading! It was hard to love Nasir character but after getting to know him and his background I started to like him. Loved Zafira!! Just....I love her!! And Altair is my comfort character.
