adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful sad tense slow-paced

 general non spoilery thoughts: honestly, i like priory better than this lol. genuinely shannon needa lay off the pregnancy horror cause this is worse than all the actual horror books i read. i hope if she writes more books in this world, there wont be so much lol i like the world but all that shit just makes me want to die

spoilers for whole book in this review. MEGA CONTENT WARNING: pregnancy horror to the fucking max in this book ! read at ur own risk if you have any sort of phobia. i wanted to kms at some points in this book my guy
Spoiler first and foremost , Siyu is literally the most useless character i have ever read in a book. holy shit. i wish she fucking died. absolutely useless and unfortunately lives( you have no idea how excited it was when i thought she died near the end bruh). there couldve been better ways to get tunava to see dreadmount erupt and (second time, SECOND, that siyu runs away) bond with canthe. if i had 3 wishes, one of them would be to rewrite this book without that shit head siyu in it :)
 

Spoiler second, sometimes i lowkey hate medieval fiction. the law states that glorian cant offically be queen until 18, but apparently they are okay with her being married and having a child at 16. "hurry up and have children useless woman" head ass book
 

Spoiler  third , atleast with the pregnancy horror in priory we dont have to see though sabrans pov and shes actually like 29 years old. in this book, its literally throughout the entire book and two of the charas that get pregnant are fucking 16 and one of them you read the pov of. yardy know i skip the birthing scene. kill me. 
 

Spoiler last, like priory, i feel like the last battle was extremely lack luster and thats sad. i enjoyed most of the relationships, but why the fuck did she kill off dumai bruh
