My love for this book knows no bounds. The world building was complex enough for an eight book series and yet the author originally wrote this 800 page masterpiece as a standalone story. Shannon drew inspiration from western and eastern tales of dragons, weaving together cultures that are fascinating and magical. The multiple perspectives in the book let us see a disaster that had befallen in the book from different angles, turning a simple fantasy novel about evil dragons into an exploration of western and eastern mythical creatures & religion.
he stranger to acquaintance to friends to close friends to lovers arc was a slow-burn but it was so worth it.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of fantasy, lgbtq+ stories and a good slow-burn. Through this book and Crier’s War, I found what I love more than a good fantasy story– a fantasy story with sapphic characters (and dragons, of course).
