5.0

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!
