Despite the complex world building and politics, I am SAT for this story. Absolutely captivated

Oh, Maia... 😩🥺 Poor guy

I have never been prouder to see an overwhelmed, misunderstood character growing a backbone!! 👏👏👏

Oof... I know characters have to make some mistakes to be well rounded and realistic... But I still hate to see it 😩😩

I'm delighted to find that those who recommended this story as a comp title to The King of Attolia were completely correct! The similarities are comforting and the differences charming

Making progress with the help of the audiobook! The characters are definitely the strongest part of the story and they're keeping me invested despite the dense world building and plethora of foreign words 😅

I love how firm Maia is about standing up for right even when he's scared and uncertain. He's such a lovely main character

The world building and naming system are taking some getting used to, but I adore the characters and political intrigue!

I am already so hooked. I can't wait to get lost in this world. I adore Maia and it's only been 40 pages 🥹
