I love the way the author describes certain imagery of scenes n such, but there is definitely a problem with the portrayal of women within the story, and no poc representation at all.

I've had this book on my shelf for YEARS and I'm so pleased to have finally read it. I was worried that it wouldn't suit my taste anymore and I definitely struggled getting into it, but I'm very glad I pushed through as I ended up liking it a lot more than I expected.

This is an absolute brilliant fantasy book. It's been a long time since I found myself glued to the pages of a story, but I really did. Though life made me put it down for weeks at a time, every time I picked it up I found myself spellbound in a way I haven't been since I was like 12 and reading until so late at night my face turned green. I am so excited to pick up the 2nd book in this trilogy (and really hope for the publication of the 3rd and final one soon!).
