I definitely went into this book thinking that it was gonna be like children of blood and bone and akata warrior and it does have a lot of those aspects! Unfortunately I think those books are just so amazing that this one can’t live up to that level of hype but it is still super interesting. It’s a really big book with a lot of background and it’s kind of slow on the plot so for me that was hard to get through but if you enjoy a lot of world building, you’d love it! It’s still a good read and I’m still glad I read it.
