Overall this book, for me, was just ok. To me it seemed Game of Thrones-esque and overall just fantasy-lite. Obviously author added his own touch, though all the plot twists felt obvious and fell flat for one reason or another (also, tropes galore - I did not enjoy). Don't get me wrong, there were moments that moved me and had me more invested in the story though not the greatest fantasy I've read and forgettable the days after.
