definitely not one to read during fantasy burnout! but I hope you like it when you’re in the mood for it

it took over my weekend!!!!

btw I am halfway done

Yay hopefully book 2 is good!

I’m loving the first one so far. Grateful for everyone who warned that this is very prequel/history lesson feeling because I went in with the right expectations haha

I think I am going to love this

I don’t even like aral that much I just adore cordelia hahaha

I’m debating the grace of kings as my next book (whenever I stop limiting myself to only rereads haha) 👀

I’ve read Gideon and Harrow! Not my favorites but it seems like a lot of people who like them also like Baru

okay maybe I judged too harshly too fast 😂

Does the book get more and more romance focused as it goes on, or does it stay as a subplot? I like the politics and the mystery and the characters, but I don’t like when the romance takes over in a book so I was a little worried it was going that direction.

about 200 pages in! but I do think I might like it in a different mood, I’ve been very slumpy recently

nooooooo

I’m loving it!!!! and the world is so mysterious and scary
