I was genuinely surprised by how much I loved this book! It was a really fascinating read that I just devoured. The characters are fantastic, and the conflicts established and solved throughout the book were wonderfully done. There was one section where it started to drag, but then it got through it and kept the momentum going. I'm not sure if I want to read the sequel or not because I'm happy where this book ended, but I will definitely checking more from the author.
