such a gem among high fantasies. I'd like for the characters to have more distinct voices, but that's literally my only note. loved it even more than the priory

Well-written fantasy with a clear grounding in actual medieval culture. Great world building - the religions not only have zealots but they are also believable characters acting according to their faith.

Deducting points on

clumsy enemies to lovers writing, very predictable good to evil character switch/plot twist, and some very wordy filler sections

Fabulous world building, characters, and plot. Everything you want from a brick of epic fantasy. I loved the look at what duty and devotion to country/the collective means for each of these characters, and what it means to escape the oppressive parts of this cycle. Glorian needing to submit her body and womb to be part of an unending chain, Dumai trying to find a way to escape the petty politics, Tunuva balancing personal growth with her devotion to her community, Wulf struggling with the missing parts of his identity, all of it was so good.
