This is just a rip roarer of a book — it grabs you as you begin and doesn‘t really let go again until the end. I found the story really intense and engrossing, and the characters compelling, if not always entirely likeable. The world building was maybe a little lacking, but strong enough. And the cliffhanger was NOT what I thought it would be at all, which was a nice surprise. If you like epic fantasy with a handful of smut, highly recommend.
