This is one of those fantasy novel that are huge but you read them fast as they're gripping and enthralling.
The world building fascinated me as it's a sort of Roman Empire and I liked the details and how it was developed.
The plot is complex, dual POVs, plenty of characters and intrigue.
It's the first book I read by this author but won't surely be the last as it's an excellent fantasy.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
