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.

THIS WAS SO GOOD? i think i even enjoyed this more than i did Priory, which is likely due to either being more familiar with the world going in OR with the increased number of sapphic MCs. 

regardless, i was never not engaged by the story. i felt equally invested in all of the different POVs, and i genuinely cared about each of the main characters. it takes a long time for the separate plots to come together, but i found it very satisfying when they did. i kind of guessed a few plot points, but it never took me out of my immersion in the story. this is just incredibly well executed epic fantasy and i can’t be mad at it for doing what that genre is meant to do. i can’t wait to read more books in this world

That was a very enjoyable slog of endurance. I enjoyed how every POV gave pieces to a puzzle from a ton of different angles. Great diversity and representation.
