The last 15 chapters were so worth it. wow. I was left absolutely gobsmacked and I can't wait to continue reading the rest of the series.
Overall this story was really well-paced, nothing felt too rushed. Some aspects/plot lines were a bit predictable but it wasn't enough to make me drop this book. However, I will admit that the more racy scenes felt out of place at times and the language used within them made me cringe a bit. That aspect aside, I didn't feel bombarded by those types of scenes (thank the lord), as I found the action/adventure/world-building within the book to be so much more compelling. Was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, especially since I wouldn't describe myself as being drawn to fantasy novels.
I would also like to add how much I love seeing SJM serve so much face in her picture at the back of the book. like OKAYY.
