I struggled to start this read, so opted to listen to the audio book instead. The narration was pleasant and immersive and helped me get over my initial aversion to the more novice writing due to it being one of Sara J. Maas’ earlier works. I’m glad I did because I greatly enjoyed the second half of this book and I’m very excited to continue learning more about the fantasy world Maas is so skilled at building! And of course there’s just enough romance to keep me wanting more.
