 This is the prequel to Priory of the Orange Tree, and it was great to be back in this world with dragons, queer romance, thoughtful character transformations, and political machinations. This one was slower paced than Priory, but things heated up in the end with battles and big hero moves. This one is for you if you read Priory, enjoyed it, and would love to take all that world building knowledge you now have in your head and put it use for another great story.
