A world with a rich history, political intrigue, religious war, and of course the sapphic characters that brought me to this story in the first place. Oh and did I mention dragons? 

This is by far one of the best books I’ve read in awhile. If you are trying to break into more adult fantasy rather then YA fantasy this is a great starting point.

Also do not let the size of this book intimidate you. It’s a much quicker read then I anticipated and is broken up into sections that make it easier to manage.
