yooo i beat you book.!
no surprises here but it took me a lifetime (*a month) to reach the end of it. i love the way we get into a somewhat matriarchal monarchy and unravels how this is just an illusion, and it's still very much the men who rule and decide when the woman can rule (so when she gives birth lol). also love the little family sagas and the theme of motherhood (tunuva <333), especially the way sabran and her daughter keeps mirroring each other. glorian always wanting to ber father because she wants to be a warrior and then giving birth and understanding that her mother was also a warrior was beautiful. also looove how there are so many lgbt stories.
the big flaw for me is that i totally saw the plot twist with canthe coming miles ago but regardless a great read.
