PERFECTION! no notes! (full review coming soon)

Wow… Not only is this my favorite book of the year, it is one of my favorite books of all time. Perhaps, the best fantasy book I have ever read! (and I don’t say that lightly) I don’t know what to do with myself after finishing… The only thing I can do now is recommend it to literally anyone who will listen.

The pacing was absolutely amazing. I don’t know how a book that’s almost 600 pages can be so fast paced, but somehow it was. I was hooked from the very beginning and just got more & more invested the farther into the story I got. This is exactly what I want in an epic fantasy. The story had so many layers. There was lots of action, intrigue, characters to root for (or against), it just had everything I want in fantasy. 

The characters all had such distinct personalities and storylines, but I was able to keep up without getting confused (the cast of characters in the beginning helped with that.) The world building was great and the diversity of the world was something I really loved. And I just have to mention, we LOVE murderous women over here!

This book stressed me tf out! (in the best way) I haven’t had a book excite me like this in so long. Especially exciting me from the very BEGINNING! The sequel cannot come soon enough!

Pick this up immediately if you love epic fantasy, diverse worlds, morally grey characters & murderous women, and so much more!
