Started out a bit slow but once I got about 100 ish pages in I could not stop reading it!!! Such a strong female lead. If you like books with a strong female lead, read this. 

I need answers though. Book 2???? When??? I need it!!!

Altough the first half of this books was rather slow, it picked up nicely in the latter half. The first part was slow because of necessary worldbuilding and character development. 
The book is beautifully written, the educated characters in this book actually sound smart through their words. 
The book produced some really beautiful quotes.
Also the narrator of the audiobook that I listened along to whilst reading was phenomenal.
