It opens with the strongest two chapters of any book I can recall, which makes sense seeing as it was once a standalone short story. The conflicts get a bit repetitive at times and the prose worsens to just "good" after those incredible first chapters but it's a very interesting and intriguing world to explore and discover with the characters!

I had high expectations for this book because I read some of the reviews and how amazing it was. It wasn't a bad story by any means, I did enjoy it, I just don't think I'll read the rest of the story. It didn't keep me wanting more. However, I am glad I read it and I do think it does deserve praise, it just wasn't for me. 3 out of 5 stars.

DNF around page 40.

I think this is just not my vibe right now. Writing is fine, story is fine. Just not feeling it
