Highly marketed as a lgbtqia, sapphic book but where is it lol? Though keara may not be straight found it to be queerbait-y that it was just a past relationship. Great to have that representation but I was excited to read a fantasy book with a main queer relationship. Other than that disappointment it generally just was fairly a predictable and typical fantasy book. The world wasn’t super well built so I was kind of confused at times too.

It’s definitely slower, but everything feels believable with the pace. The relationships take natural courses. Very, very slow burn. The book sets itself to be very action packed moving forward. The characters are amazing, the world is beautifully complex. The only thing that keeps me from giving it five stars is that sometimes is definitely slow, it feels like things are happening but nothing is moving.
