I enjoyed this quite a bit overall! It was a bit slow to start, (makes sense I suppose -- being the first book in a new series) and I wasn't deeply invested in the character relationships, but I really liked the moral complexities the characters were exploring, and watching how they were working to sabotage the Mongol Empire in various ways.
The final 25% or so was VERY intriguing and the fantasy elements were ramped up and oh my GOD I am obsessed with the magical elements that were revealed toward the end... The Old Guard, much?!
