While the writing style wasn’t my favorite, I quickly got past it. There are a lot of statements of facts, info-dumping, and a lack of poetic prose. The writing felt young & undeveloped. One thing I hated about Euyn: his BLATANT sexism, and the way it’s just tolerated. But I guess Mikail doesn’t care about him enough to change his opinion. The sexism just bothered me while I was reading.
However, I loved how the queer relationships were normalized as well.
I’m not aching for the next book (this ends on a slight cliffhanger), but I will definitely read it when it comes out.

Anyhow, excellent romantasy with a great cast of interesting, flawed, scarred characters gathered together to kill a god emperor. Of course, all does not run smooth, but that just gives the characters time to sprout feelings. Because I'm a dirty old woman, the sex scenes could have been a little less fade to black, but it's not really fair to log that as an actual criticism of the book. Seriously, I'm really looking forward to the next book.
