Read this as a book club read and found the first half incredibly slow going, too many names/storylines and pretty much no humour or romance, nothing to make me want to keep reading. I persisted (as I had to for book club) and it definitely got way better. The second half was far more enjoyable. However, I've read so many fantasy books that I enjoyed far better hence the 3 stars.

Absolutely stunning. This world was so real. The characters were vivid. Dragons. Magic. Swords. Tragedy. Romance. Heroism. This is the epitome of epic fantasy!

I enjoyed it even tho it took me awhile to get through. Whole lotta build up for…not much. Wish Sabran and Eadaz’ relationship was more branched upon, but hey, we’ll see in 10 years 🤷

DFN in the first 50 page.
Maybe it is by the size of the book, but this one felt like it was not going anywhere at all. The story seem to have a slow start where they throw at you hundred of names (and not just names but names and surnames of the characters) making it very hard to track even the main heroes. The slow start would be alright if not for the fact that this book has around 4 characters to follow.
I usually don't talk about the prose, as the words are only the means of the transport to the thoughts and world, but here I have been pulled away multiple times from the story stopping at some of the sentences that looked like they did not belong.
