Ok so I had a weird experience with this book. Like there's so much I loved about it, but at the same time I feel like I wasn't really in the mood for it when I was reading it, if that makes any sense. The world, magic, and atmosphere of this book is A+++. Not to mention the fact that it includes an intersex main character in a fantasy world. Plus the relationship between Michah and Drystan was my fav. I enjoyed so much of this book, so I really don't know why it took me so long to get through.
