However, the reason it was so frustrating when these chapters would happen was because the rest of the book was fantastic. If it weren't for the messily executed romance plot and repetitive bits, it would have sat up there with my favorite romantasies. Which are extremely hard to touch.
The action was fantastic and the world was truly a highlight. I love the inclusion of the glossary and index. Which may not be everyones cup of tea but it was definitely mine. Some of the romance scenes were perfectly steamy
Overall, I enjoyed it. The low rating sadly comes purely from the slog of the middle bit. It truly frustrated me. It made me sad because it was so obvious this writer was great, but I felt she was bogged down by the need for the egregious romance.
I would recommend to someone who can get through that stuff though!

What truly blew me away was the ending—I never saw it coming. It was bold, emotional, and brilliantly executed. I felt bound to this book, unable to put it down and completely immersed in the experience.
This is officially my first 5-star read of the year—and I don’t hand those out lightly. I’m already eagerly anticipating the next book in the series!

This book had my imagination in over drive and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Loved the poetic writing style and immense detail. I’ve never read anything like it.
There is a lot of symbolism, fantastic world building and a great glossary(which I needed).
THIS IS FANTASY! 👏🏾💗
