One of the better fantasy novels I’ve read outside the sjm universe in a while. I enjoyed the world building and characters and plot. It was starting to feel a little redundant with the steamy scenes in the third section of the book without any real furthering of the plot and sometimes I just wanted them to get to the point. Some of the scenes/characters definitely felt acotar-coded in both a good and bad way. It took me a while to get through this one even tho I overall enjoyed it but I never really reached that hooking point where I couldn’t put the book down so even tho every time I picked it up I could read for a couple hours at a time, I could go weeks without picking it up again (partly cuz of my own busy schedule tho). Overall, I think I will follow along with this as it becomes a series but otherwise I was satisfied with it being a one and done for me.
