Love seeing the azi being described like a cat (makes a 3 headed dragon beast super adorable. Love when dragons are described like big scaley cats tbh). All the mystery/secrets are keeping me going because I need to know why we got here and what Tea's end goal will be/look like.
Def wasn't expecting the little twist in there involving the Odalian royal family.

I’ve seen in other reviews that people love the flashback-flashforward effect but for me it was exhausting trying to keep up with what’s going on knowing that there are only a few months in between. I don’t think the “present day” story from the Bard should have come until book 3; frankly all it did was annoy me in books 1 & 2 because I had no way of knowing how the actions in the flashbacks led up to the events in the present. Something that helped me enjoy this book more was reading all the “present day” scenes then going back for all the flashback scenes; that helped me feel less thrown around by the two ends of the same story.
Overall, these books have felt like when you get a really pretty skein of yarn & go against your better judgement & try to pull from the center only for it to prolapse into a mess of tangles that you have to pick through for hours to put back in order. gorgeous material, bad execution.
