This was a great read. It was full of action, lore, intense characters and mystery. There weren't any dull moments and I'm excited to read the second book soon.

I think the writing and the plot is great. I liked the small bits of romance sprinkled in and the more action packed scenes. But it just didn't keep me interested between those action scenes and the romance parts. But I knew going in this might not be entirely for me. Fantasy isn't a genre I usually read and I usually like for more romance to be included when I do read fantasy.
I would absolutely still recommend this to the fantasy readers out there. It just wasn't for me personally.

Wasn't sure what tag to use for this, but there is a relationship where an adult takes advantage of a teenager sexually. Exchanging sex for intel. This continues for several years, going into adult hood. It's not exactly asault or rape since it's consensual but there's definitely something traumatic about it. There is only brief mentions of the actual acts but the book spends significant amount of time handling the psychological after effects.karambit's review

the world was easy to fall into, the characters and relationships make you squirm inside in a good way, and even tho I found the plot lacking, I'm not a plot person anyway.
Im gonna come back to the series and we better get a lot more Zidan/Remy content. or else

My favorite aspect of this book were the characters. Every single character was fleshed out and had compelling back stories and motivations.
It’s an extremely easy read and super face paced. I’m sad I’ll have to wait for April to read the sequel.
