The first one is great but don't read it because you won't get through the series,,, Siege and Storm (#2) is boring.

Highest note for my favourite book. I am emotionally attached to everything in it and that's all. As a big world-building reader who could've predicted this would be my favourite book ?

Here me out. This is a CRIMINALLY underrated book and if I could I'd never shut up about how the series is good : characters, plot, romAnce and a slight enemies to lovers ?? You gotta be kidding if you tell me you don't like it + the setting is so original and the writing is great. Read it. That's all.
