It did not feel like the natural progression for some of the characters to me. Although I am a big supporter of having LGBT representation in books, here it felt like the author is forcing the characters into it because that is what will get the book more popularity. The book is also filled with more homosexual relationships than heterosexual relationships. This makes it even more important that we make matriarchy as common a subject as patriarchy. As I am typing this, the in-built grammar check is pointing out that ‘Queendom’ is not a word.
I loved the fact that the main kingdom is a Queendom. It has magic and mages, queens and dragons, complicated family tree and rules of magic. The book contains every element that makes a fantasy fiction a hit among readers. Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.Īcross the dark sea, Tané has trained all her life to be a dragonrider, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction-but assassins are getting closer to her door.Įad Duryan is an outsider at court. The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. With its 848 pages, it was going to be one of the largest books that I would have read in recent times and I was excited to see how I would rise to the challenge. With all the hype surrounding the book even before the ARC was distributed, I knew that I absolutely had to read it as soon as the book was out.
