A great fantasy novel with some romantic elements (I say this cause I wouldn’t quite consider this a romantasy exclusive novel). I really enjoyed the world building and the details that went into it, and felt like there were certain plot moments I didn’t see coming which was fun. I’m very curious to see how these characters develop in the next book (hopefully soon), because I have a lot of questions and thoughts. I also appreciate giving a FMC strength and depth and not losing that part of herself by the end like I’ve found in some other novels I’ve read recently.  

Please note, if you have under 16, or at the very least not in high school, my suggestion is to wait a bit due to the gore and torture aspects (see warnings for further clarification).
