super fun read
This was a great read and I loved how fast paced it was while keeping me turning the pages to find out more. I can’t wait to jump in to book two to see what happens!

Other books had my attention more and I didn't make it back to this one. Might read again in the future.

Reasonably good story, the lore is interesting though the way it conveyed some of the world building was really bizarre: a character stands in a room full of people who already know the world and explains everything? Also an island population losing the ability to craft boats? wtf? That makes zero sense, just make it a landlocked nation.
What knocks 2 stars off for me is the fact that the main character starts wearing leather and nothing but leather and lacy underwear. Do you want to get swamp ass? That's how you get swamp ass.
Any cool/badass points you try to give the character instantly vanish when they become a sweaty gross mess. Just put them in linen or cotton clothing and have the leather armour in vital places. I promise it will look just as good and your characters won't be gross! Not to mention leather makes SO. MUCH. NOISE. Instant fail at stealth when wearing leather.
Better yet, this is a fantasy world: create a fictional material that looks cool and doesn't have the downsides of leather!
I swear, authors putting their characters in leather is going to be my supervillain origin story.

This story had me captivated since page 1. Loved this story very different than what I’ve read before. I cannot wait to read the second book.
