I immediately wanted to reread this book as soon as I finished it. She somehow weaves a fictional tale that highlights the the heritage and struggles of the countries of uk governed by England, I don’t want to spoil anything but I loved how the heritage of each nation was touched upon and woven into the bigger picture. It was hard to pinpoint the general time period this was set, given history in the book is similar to but with definite differences from reality. I like her writing style and some of her passages and phrases were gorgeous, I loved the symbolism and the folklore woven throughout and I would love to read a fictional book written in the style of epic poetry if she wrote one because I think in her style it would be really interesting. Again, no spoilers, but I think the ending did the book justice. I would love to read more in this universe, possibly with time skips between books? I also don’t think the publisher did it justice both publicity wise, it is great for fantasy lovers, includes folklore, draws allegories to greater pictures both historically and to the present, and deserves a much wider audience.
