Reread 6/10/2025 - how did I never write a review for this?! This book is just so perfectly for me😭 It has everything I could want in a fantasy - dragons, pirates, politics, magic, plus queer relationships. The world is so expansive and the characters are incredibly raw and real. 

I cried, laughed, swooned, and stayed up into the night glued to the page. This story will live in my heart for a long time to come.
