y'all are not lying, the hype is so real. it was very good and so worth the read. it has anything you could want in a fantasy book— amazing world-building, well-thought and executed plot, loveable characters, fascinating lores, sapphic and queer representation, magic, dragons, pirates, etc. so don't hesitate about reading it anymore, JUST READ IT. otherwise you wouldn't know what you are missing on. the length might be so intimidating but i promise you it wasn't enough because you will crave for more and never want it to end. 

eadsabran, my wives. tané, my girl. loth, my man. niclays,,,, i'll think about it lol but kidding aside his character development is one of the highlights of this book.

this book have me confused on the most parts especially in early chapters, i even thought of dnfing halfway through because i still hadn't understanding anything and felt so stupid but i'm glad i pushed through and finished it, so far this is the most beautiful book i've ever read in my life. it left me staring on our wall for an hour feeling empty after finishing it. red and blue invented yearning.
