The female protagonists throughout the story were strong and fierce women that brought a lot of character and heart into the story. It felt like we were thrust into Game of Thrones but with a matriarchy across the lands. There was a lot of political intrigue within and between nations.

I really loved the structure of society in this world and the separate queendoms, but I would have loved to see more building of the actual world. I felt like I could not visualize parts of it very well. And maybe parts of that were cut for the very ambitious storytelling and plot, which were phenomenal.

Thank you to @sagapress for my physical copy of the book. All thoughts are my own.
