Good setup for a series but needed more character development. Particularly between characters. The love interests were weakly incorporated and the main character was brash and obnoxious. I wish she would have been developed more in terms of her intelligence. But the storyline is good and I will be reading the second book in the series.

Ooooh, I liked this! I really liked that there was a hint of romance, but the main focus of this installment was on character and world building. There was also action, mystery, and fabulous banter. Definitely looking forward to wherever this series is taking us!

4 stars

The world is interesting, and I find it to be very intriguing. I like the way the land is, and I think there's a lot more than meets the eye with this series. That being said, it wasn't a 5 star purely because of the STRESS I was stressing while reading. Personal preference, I just like less of the angst there, but I will continue reading. 

Also Henri is so insufferable, and I can't stand him. Diem is an amazing character, yet she's so easily persuaded, which I hope to see her grow out of. Rooting for her and Luther.. but also Teller and Lily. Something tells me though that there's going to be a long, slow burn for our main heroine.

Don’t let the 3.5 stars scare you off from this book. It’s fantasy.. the world building and background character development took up most of the book. There were only 2-3 chapters before 75% of the way through the book that really had me invested.. BUT the end of the book is explosive and fantastic. Can’t wait to move on to the second book.

I admittedly did not have super high expectations for this book, but it far surpassed them and then some. The world-building was just complex enough to be interesting and just simple enough to be understandable. The magic system was mysterious and explained at the right times in the right ways. The relationships between Diem and her family and friends were realistic and deep. Any complaints are too minor to warrant typing!
