Overall I enjoyed it but would be unlikely to reread it… the issues above combined with the one below, made it a likely one time only story for me. Could be great for a different type of reader though.
Now… light possible spoilers ahead…
I didn’t care for the ending. To me it wasn’t a good set up for the next book but rather a huge loss or a huge throwaway when everything somehow resolves in the next book’s initial chapters. The wrong kind of cliffhanger to try to entice you to pick up book two.

I loved seeing a strong woman as the protagonist and how her relationships evolved due to her nature. A reason I did give it a 4 and not higher was I wish the book was told in her POV, not a 3rd person POV. I feel if it was from hers, we’d get to know a bit more about her relationship with Ryon, and her thoughts regarding her experiences more. I do enjoy their relationship and the development of it, but I think it could be a deeper connection between them.
