I'm glad this will be a series because I really enjoyed this one.   There's some excellent world building and it definitely feels like a foundation was being laid to tell more stories in this world.  

I liked the various magic systems and political alliances.  

I hope we get to spend more time in the past with Basha in the future.

It was really interesting that Kai always seemed to make a point of identifying people as male or female based on their dress, but that demons didn't match gender when matching with a host body, only matching social rank
