Promising premise that didn’t quite deliver to me. It was a slog to get through even tho I did like how the women tried to overthrow the press from within her own court instead of resorting to violence from the outside and the concept of alurea being cool as heck, the writing style just didn’t do it for me. Communication with their dragons, overuse of other language and plot points that fly by and in out of nowhere led to a less then stellar reading experience.
