Sadly I was not able to finish this book, Whilst I was really excited for the premise and I am a big fantasy, and romance, reader, I found I could not connect with this story. It’s very high fantasy with lots of complicated language and world building and I found myself lost very quickly and spending too much time on trying to figure out how to pronounce names and places than the story itself. However that was just me, I feel readers of complicated complex fantasy books will enjoy this read. 
I did enjoy the journey of Talasyn and Alaric but was far too overwhelmed by the complicated world. 
As I said I feel regularly readers of high complicated fantasy will enjoy this, it just wasn’t for me.
