I was so excited to receive this book as an ARC through netgalley, and it did not disappoint. Getting to enter the world of the Roots of Chaos series again was nothing short of magical. 

This book is a standalone taking place before the events of Priory of the Orange tree, and it's an excellent entry point for people who find the size of the other novels daunting. 

Full of politics, world building, draconic mayhem, and intrigue, this book did an excellent job of keeping me on my toes. Furthermore, I love that it has such a cute sapphic love story embedded in it without being a full on romance novel. 

I already have my copy on preorder for when it releases this september- you should check it out!

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Bloomsbury Publishing for the eARC!
