Couldn't connect to the story or any character, pacing was too slow.

Rich, epic fantasy, could even be called a feminist game of thrones? I enjoyed this world and the characters and hope to see more stories set in this world!

This book. Was amazing. Seriously, I think this is actually my new favourite of all time. Dragons, badass assassin priestesses, magery, a queendom instead of a kingdom! I love fantasy, but I've had the hardest time finding one that I really like because they're all based on a bedrock of misogyny and homophobia, which I simply can't read anymore- I've had enough. This book was diverse, female-driven, all the things we've been waiting for in a fantasy for our time. And the story-telling was beautiful, rich, and detailed. I just loved it!
