Getting the books off my tbr like a person who didn't just add 20 books to her tbr last week.
Anyway - I'd tried this one on audio and it didn't work (epic fantasy is so hit or miss with me when it comes to audio), but now that I could read it, I really enjoyed it.
It's got dragons and politics so the ASOIAF comparison is somewhat inevitable, but Winter's book is much more interested in how the personal becomes political rather than how the political...stays political.
Is there "brutalist epic fantasy" as a genre? Like not about realism, but it reminds me of R.F. Kuang's series as well - the stories of how battles break protagonists and myths shatter.
Anyway, it was good and I'm reasonably sure the next one is already out.
