I overall enjoyed this book. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC, in exchange for my honest review. At the beginning, it was a bit slow and a little confusing with the world building. Once I was understanding it, I enjoyed it and started reading it quicker. There were definitely a couple of twists that I did not see coming, and there will likely be even more in the next book. I'm invested in Axly's journey now.

I'd give this book 600 stars if I could.
Excellent world building without a huge info dump at the beginning. Complex characters that you love but also want to kind of scream some sense into at times, a fast paced adventure across many lands and seas, magic, mayhem and a touch of romance.
My only disappointment is that firstly no one else seems to be reading this, and secondly, there is a second book in the works and it isn't out yet.
