Thank you Bloomsbury for the arc in exchange for an honest review
Shannon delivers yet again! Epic and absolutely impossible to put down from start to finish. Vibrant, beautiful and devastating all at the same time. Samantha truly is one of the best high fantasy authors of our generation.
"MOTHER WE ARE YOUR DAUGHTERS WE REMEMBER WE REMAIN!" The way Shannon handles grief, death and child birth is done so well. As well as the romance. There is an already established relationship that I loovveeeed. An enemies to lovers plot line that gave everything I wanted. This book had it all.
Building upon the epic story within the Roots of Chaos Cycle. We see how much of the events of Priory took hold. How the East and West began their animosity towards each other.
The world building, characters arcs and plot line are top tier. Shannon has become not only one of my favorite authors, her books ADOFN and Priory are in my top ten favorite books of all time.
You do not want to miss out on this Epic High Fantasy.
