Tier 1: Works of Art

SUMMARY: A very well-written novel with a strong plot, but a little boring at times.

We all know I love emotion in novels most of all and I felt the reader's connection to the characters' emotions fell flat. That being said, the story is amazing and the writing is top tier so I recommend.

The writing is gorgeous. The characters are interesting, not all of them are likeable from the beginning but they do grow on you and change drasticall throughout. The plot is maliciously crafted and planned well.

excellent world-building and lore, enjoyable politics, well executed plot twists and a thrilling story. most importantly, characters that remained striking, dynamic, and genuine and a love story that remained interesting and believable. a stunning work of high fantasy.
