The atmosphere is perfect for an October read. It’s a quick read and I did enjoy it. I do think making Emilia insanely dense most of the time was a poor choice, but the grief is well written.

I really wanted to like this, but the plot/character development felt like it kept skipping. So many plot lines started and then dropped abruptly. Maybe they all get picked back up and developed in the next book, but it left me feeling ambivalent towards the characters since the plot trajectory kept changing before I could get attached or invested.

Reread as I prep myself to read the Thrones books next month!
It’s been over 3 years since I first read this, and wow I remembered nothing.
That is not a reflection on this book at all, it’s just between reading this in January 2022 to now, I’ve read nearly 500 books and I have obviously oversaturated my brain with fantasy!
However, I enjoyed this way more than my initial review of 3 stars. It’s fast paced, I love the way the characters are written and their relationships with one another. Small warning, do not read this when hungry, because the food sounds so delicious that you’ll want to order Italian repeatedly.
Immediately diving into book 2!
