Beautiful imagery and descriptions. Great world building but some of the drawn out battle scenes and lore dumps felt tedious by the end. I was really pulled in by the enemies to lovers romance but it was too hot and cold for me. All that work for one kiss and one intimate scene. The end was a bit underwhelming to me, a little unsatisfying. Also, why can everyone seem to read/respond to her mind?
