    Rating 3.75 rounded down to 3.5 here

    Thank you NetGalley and Del Rey for the eARC! Naturally I was excited for a new historical fantasy from Arden after loving The Winternight trilogy.

    I loved the medieval setting of 15th century Brittany! It was so atmospheric, the world building felt as if I was right there with the characters. The world building and historical details was my favorite part of the book, making me want to learn more about Anne of Brittany.

    We get POVs from almost every character which could be overwhelming at times and caused a lack of connection with the majority of them. While I loved the plot and concept, the writing was just so so; it never fully captured me and at times was a drag to “get through” 😭

    It could sometimes be telling over showing and read more like YA, despite being an adult novel, but then bam we get hit with a bunch of spicy scenes in the last parts of the second half. The romance was unexpected going into the book but not totally unwanted 👀 although I could’ve done without the spicy scenes because unless it’s marked as romance it feels out of place and isn’t my vibe-so for me this should be labeled as Historical Romantasy since romance plays such a big role in the second half.

    Pacing was all over the place and the super long chapters didn’t help. Even when I was enjoying it I would put it down if another long chapter was coming up. The beginning was fascinating and the adventurous moments well done (mostly) but the middle slumped and the ending felt rushed. Even though this is a standalone (as far as I know) it either needed to be longer to allow more time for things to develop or be the first of a duology.

    I’d still recommend for historical fantasy readers who don’t mind a romantic spicy subplot! Just be warned it will not compare to the Winternight trilogy 😭

    Not sure how to feel about this one. There didn’t really seem to be a story arc happening, just like one thing after another without any growth in character or tension. Also felt like Anne’s “I am a woman who need not marry for power” realization was much too on the nose. And came out of nowhere, since literally the whole book she stands by marrying for her people.

    Also why does she want to be queen so bad. Assuming literally anyone else I knew would make a good ruler, I would have no qualms about skipping off to the Lost Lands w my love.
