  Every word of this is so - It's an unbelievable fantasy epic, but it's also the best romance I've ever read.

  Just beautiful
  
  First I have to say... this was just OUTSTANDING!! Though it seems very long winded at times,( which I normally cannot stand! ) those lengthy versus just seemed vital to the story.. the battle scenes... people... THE BATTLE SCENES! It felt like I witnessed their anger, fear, pain, triumph, lose, heartbreak! As if I were right there with them.
  
  That is how deeply this trilogy had engulfed me! It isn't all gloom and doom, bloody guts and glory either... there's snarky humor as well!! Next up.
  The love story, ( undoubtedly one of my favorites, especially since it is F/F!) deep, tear jerking, F the world because we are each others world kinda beautiful. The supporting characters very well deserve their own series in my opinion! By far this is the longest review I've ever left, and it is well deserved!!

  I felt like this book had a lot of promise, but I had issues getting into it due to the writing style. There's a lot of info to take in, and I am not a fan of "You turned and walked away. Your mother watched."
  
  Since this book contains all three parts of the trilogy, it sounds bad saying I stopped at 4%, but that's 50+ pages it had to woo me, and it failed. There was a lot of info-dumping about the regions the two girls inhabited, as well as only a minimal hint of this world's magic. Maybe it's just a slow build, but I am not feeling like trudging through 1300+ more pages to get to a resolution.
  
  DNFed at 4%.

  The first book is like poetry to read. Utterly beautiful in every way - an easy 5 star for the first book.
  
  Unfortunately, the magic was lost for me midway through the second book, but I persevered. The third book had more interesting and exciting moments, only to fall flat.
  
  I feel harsh for saying this, but at times it felt a chore to read, and at times boring with not much going on and nothing gripping to keep you wanting to stay up late and squeeze in one more chapter.
  
  In short - the first book is a treasure to me, but the other two somewhere along the way unfortunately lost me.

  I am just not a fan of the writing. There's a lot of telling and exposition and none of it interests me.
