"DNF 50%<br/><br/>There was much more to this book than meets the eye. It became very strange I won't lie. While I appreciate the book opening your eyes to racism, sexism, corruption and homophobia it just seemed a little too much going on at once especially when thrown into a fantasy setting. It was as if the author was going down a list and checking them off. So with the checklist and the many POV's it was difficult to care for any of the charactersas I should. The plot was also all over the place. The writing style made me fill disconnected from the world and the characters. I heard there were so great twist but I just wasn't feeling it."

"It was good in theory, but some of the choices the characters made didn't bode well with me."

"Personally I loved this book, it had great world building with the dragons and an amazing diverse set of characters. My favorite character is definitely Malcolm and I adore the development he gets. Though o do find I like the pacing of the first half of the book over the second. Overall it was a great read."
