Fantasy is really not my cup of tea but I did quite enjoy this book. The character develop and world building was amazing! I’d totally recommend if you’re a fan of fantasy with a lot of lore.

Despite it sometimes being trope-y and predictable and having a romance that felt forced/unnecessary, I really enjoyed the heart of this book and the worldbuilding.
