I LOVED this book. I’m pretty picky with fantasy (I get bored if it’s too dense but then can’t stomach the writing in easier reads like Fourth Wing) but this was the perfect combination of action, enjoyable characters, politics & intrigue, with a pinch of romance. It almost felt Ken Follet-y, or like if you took the Bridgerton show and put a bunch of demon fighters in it. I would probably recommend this if you enjoyed Six of Crows!

I really enjoyed this and the characters and the friendships. That being said the one relationship I really liked isn’t going to happen and I’m so upset about it. Also there was hardly any Henry and I love him. Also there was not enough Lucie like she’s my favorite and I feel like she hardly got page time. I also don’t think we got to see enough of her and Cordelia which annoyed me. I did love all the different representation this had.
