OMG! I can't even.
Guys just read it.
Just. Read. This. Series.
This was the best female protagonist fantasy series I've read in SUCH a long time.
And yeah you've got your ACOTAR and your TOG and Sarah J Maas and Fourth Wing BLAH BLAH BLAH
BUT THIS!
WRITTEN BY A MAN!
Is a billion times more impressive.
BOOKS. DON'T. NEED. ALL. THOSE. SMUT. SCENES. and romance.
Like it's nice, don't get me wrong it's nice, and I read a TON of books in the early 2010s and they were all contemporary romance and I loved them. And I get that Romantasy is the new thing.
But this. THIS IS BADASS!
This is a movie. This is an epic. This is legendary.
If you're tired of all the romance and smut in fantasy, PICK THIS UP PLEASE.
Again my problem is their ages but whatever, let's pretend they're older than they actually are.
If you want a badass female protag, who smokes, swears, murders, drinks, is flawed, determined, feels HUMAN, this is for you.
Please, please, please pick this up!
I am so excited to "eventually" sorry Jay, move onto Empire of the Vampire series - I'm waiting until the next or all books are out - this is the problem, I don't know when the series is finished...
And it was nice enough for Jay to include a refresher of what happened in the last book (characters and what happened to them in previous books) why doesn't everyone do this? Why doesn't Sarah J Maas do this? -___-
So. So. So. So good. Thank you to Heather for pushing me to just read this series!
I have so many other series to read but there's so many dang books!
(also it helped that I had physical copies of this because reading is so much faster than listening so I finished it in 12-13 days when I loaned it from the library for 21 days and it was a 22h audiobook).
