I've loved every second of reading this book! An incredible queer fantasy adventure. It's got women in positions of power and badassery, it's got diverse characters, it's got dragons, it's got strong world-building, it's got dragons! How nice to read fantasy with strong queer female characters and Dames as active Knights!? don't know much else to say except Read This Book. 10/10 would read again.
