At times I was lost in the wordy descriptions and world building. It was hard to visualize some of the things the author was describing.

On one hand, there were moments of absolutely gorgeous writing in here, and I’d say the first 75% of the book was quite gripping. It was way too long, though, and the last quarter really lost me. The main character started acting SO dumb, and the plot stopped making any kind of sense.

5.0

4.5 stars, would have been a full five but it was a little hard to get into - lots of unusual names and world building thrown at you off the bat. But then it got interesting and I couldn’t put it down. Lots of flowery, descriptive writing, which for me helps imagine the scenes but for some it might be a but much.

To each their own.

I’m utterly disappointed. I wanted that high-stakes and strong female lead but instead I got another love triangle, troped out book.

I miss fantasy when it was just fantasy and had little to no romance.

The writing is not my style. And… this was 500 pages too many.
