Throne of glass meets Fourth Wing. 

This was one of my most anticipated fantasy reads for 2024 and it did not disappoint!

The world building is so beautiful and so detailed I felt drawn into this world from the very first chapter. Once I started I didn't want to put it down. 

I love a fantasy read with a kick ass FMC and this one has major sassy Aelin vibes! There's also dragons and romance (and a little bit of spice- after a slowwww burn) What more could you want in a fantasy book?!


If you are new to the fantasy genre I probably wouldn't recommend this to start with - it is a high fantasy novel and features a 10-15 page glossary of words made up specifically for this world/story. It can be hard to follow at times so just bear that in mind before diving in.
