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!

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.

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.
