A beautifully written high fantasy book that stands within a realm of religions, nations and dragons with intricate and well-thought relationships and huge diversity.

An excellent read! It surpassed Priory for me in every way. It kept the richly imagined world, awesome dragons, diverse cast of characters, and compelling belief systems, but was quicker to get into and had a more nuanced and challenging ending. I particularly love both books exploration of how religion and legend can be corrupted accidentally and on purpose to meet the ends of people. Despite its 800 pages, I only wish it was longer!

Omfg, this is a great prequel to Priory of the Orange Tree! It's been so long since I read that book, but this brought me right back, and I'm so glad I finally got to read it! It's been a long ride, but everything made me cry. I'm so glad to have seen the Priorty's world again.

There was so much I could appreciate on a second read. The worldbuilding is beautiful. Every character felt so real and I loved them all so much. The interwoven story between this and Priory, while both can be read without the other is amazing. So much of what I love in fantasy stems from this series.

The first half was really good and very emotional, possibly the most I’ve ever cried while reading a book. In the second half, the pacing got really weird. It was fast at times it could have been slower and slow at times it could’ve been faster.
