There’s parts that I love in this book. Then there’s parts that have me smh. So much info needs more explanation.
I’m curious if it would be better with a prequal book about the ancients or whatever they are called. (this is my point… I can’t even remember the historical magical-being’s names because there is too much to sort through… I read Cosmere books less confusing!)

I really like this book, but there’s something about the complex history within the realms that doesn’t click for me. A few moments with the writing that are off as well, but otherwise a good read. Aiming for upper 4 stars as of now. Definitely won’t reach a 5 star read, but it’s still up there.

I’m still really liking this read. I’ve been reading it before bed and therefore not making a lot of headway, but what I do read is a good time.

Hooked. Utterly and completely. I hope it gets better from here because wow… we are off to a fantastic start!
Romantasy with more emphasis on the fantasy than the romance. At least this far. One little romantic scene but otherwise we are world building baby. I’m here for it.
