A fascinating story with interesting characters, unpredictable twists, and epic journeys. It covers a vast set of plot lines and times, in would could have been three separate books itself. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

While the start is a bit slow, the story picks up pace halfway in. It was definitely a good choice on my part to go with the audiobook, and turn up the speed (I did this from the beginning). However, I must say, this book has ALL OF THE TRIGGER WARNINGS, like any trigger warning you can think of is probably in there somewhere. Please be careful if you, unlike me, have a heart.

I had tried to read this book a few times before I finally got through it, but it was all worth it in the end. The entire story changes so much throughout that it feels like you're kinda reading several different books. You end up really wanting to know what happens next so I can't wait to start reading the next book.
