AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.


Ok so calming the fuck down, I absolutely loved this book.

The characters were so intricate and enthralling, their motivations were so interesting and I was so conflicted with my support of some people but still routing for them.

The world building was magnificent and even though I hate 'we're travelling to find magic in a fantasy story' stories I was still so invested.

This is seriously a 5 star book. And I loved the casual queer rep.

Unfortunately I can't talk about anything else because of spoilers but I loved every single aspect of this. I literally hate fantasy stories but I loved all the fantasy tropes in this. This book and the sequel are literally the only fantasy books on my shelf for reference on my interest in fantasy. 

But I seriously loved this and I can't wait to see what happens next.



9.7/10. The gay agenda is winning and it's being led by Vi from Arcane 2.0 (no offence, love them both, I just couldn't stop picturing her as Vi😭😭😭😭)

Come for the interesting premise, the trusted tropes, and the odd couple (except there are four) cast of characters. Stay for the character growth and development, well written action sequences, and compelling twist at the end. I’m glad I have the sequel ready to go. 

Read this if you like:

Compelling characters you can’t help but root for; grump/sunshine but they’re both grumps; fantasy with a very light romance subplot

Loved the action scenes when they were present! I wish I liked the characters more. They were definitely multi layered.
