Why did I wait so long to read this? The physical book has been in my possession for 3 months and I am mad at the lost time that I could have been loving it. This gave me all of the good feelings that I CRAVE in a fantasy book! And we are only 1 book in!
Fans of From Blood and Ash and A Court of Thorns and Roses will love this... And I'm not just saying that. It's like if those 2 series were mixed with Mulan. I can't wait to keep reading and I'm trying to convince all of my book friends to read it so I'll have people to obsess over it with.
As a former labor and delivery nurse it is VERY clear that the author has a background in midwifery because the actual pregnancy and birth related things were accurate... Minus the magic of course. I appreciated that this aspect was believable.
