This book was LONG, but wonderfully written. Some parts were slow but it is something that I can appreciate. Ead and Sabran’s relationship was possibly the most interesting part of the book and I enjoyed watching them navigate these difficult times in their world. The plot twists were unexpected but they made things move in a way to keep me interested and informed. Overall, I know there is a wide audience that this book will appeal to, and she makes fantasy digestible even if it’s not your favourite genre, I’m sure you will find joy in this book!
