this book was loooong hahaha and I knew that going into it but daaaang, it’s been a while since I’ve read something this long. Perk is you get the full story instead of having to wait for sequels but con - Sometimes a nice palette cleanser is needed in between sequels. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Love the representation. Love the journey of emotions it took me on. Absolutely loved the strong female characters. I smiled; I cried; I giggled and was sad and shocked and all the things. Also talking dragons 🐉 Gonna take a long break though before I dive into A Day of Fallen Night 😑
