This book was very cool to read, and I loved every moment of doing so. Can't wait to read more by her. Would tell my friends and family to buy if they get the chance.

This is the fourth book in the Chorus of Dragon Series and Idk how Jenn Lyons does this but just when I thought she couldn't possibly narrate this book in a more unique manner than her previous three - she puts out this brilliant book.

This was probably a mix of haunted House and high fantasy and I had one hell of a time reading it. Honestly, this series has everything that you could ask from high fantasy - there's incredible world building, detailed and complex history and cultural representation, morally grey but awesome characters, lots of magic and just stupendous story telling.

But, the biggest selling point of this book and series is that it's diverse and inclusive as hell. This is a world where gender and sexuality is represented with all its glory. Most of the characters are gay. The three main characters are in a polyamourous relationship and there's literally a ritual where gender transformation is celebrated as a festival.

I think the only drawback that I consider for this series is that it's very complicated at times and that makes getting into the books tough. But I think if you get past the first book, this series is definitely one to check out!!

Yeah, this was another really great book, and I need to read The Discord of Gods! So excited to see how things are going to end!

3.5⭐️

So when I started it I realised I couldn’t really remember what happened in the first three so I made the decision to reread them

This series continues to be a dizzying odyssey.
At this point, it only remains for me to add that I am totally and absolutely devoted to the characters and that I love Jenn Lyons writing.
Ultimately, that story feels like a lifetime commitment.
I look forward to the fifth book.
