I am so mad at myself for waiting so long to read this book! The pacing of this book was perfect, and I devoured every single page. The characters were all portrayed so vividly and I found myself growing more and more attached to characters like Sabran, Ead, Tané, Margret, and Loth. There were so many strong and complex women in this story, and I constantly kept thinking, "That was so badass," every few chapters.
