I can't wait to read this book in full. I love Shannon's writing anyway, and the premise attracts me totally. A lady in waiting at court, who's going to be a dragon rider is a great lead.
The book is long, so it's a confusing start, I guess it iwll take time to grasp it. But, I enjoy it anyway.
Great start.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC excerpt.

We start off with quite a few characters, mainly Tané, who is going to be a dragon rider and Ead a lady-in-waiting at court.
It was a bit hard at first to follow what's going on and how and who.
This would explain why the novel is quite a chunk of a book ith 900+ pages.

The writing is excellent and after reading the excerpt I'm looking forward to picking up a copy of this at the end of February next year.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an eARC excerpt.

I'm glad I received the chance to read an excerpt before buying the novel. The cover looked awesome and I heard a lot about this book but the writing just isn't for me and I probably won't buy the novel when it comes out.

An interesting read. It's well written and entertaining. Cannot wait to read the entire book.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

Tense fiction leads us into a world that stokes the imagination. Samantha Shannon has a talent for bringing horror and literary elements together. An interesting read I would be glad to visit in full.
