 Very fun read that set up a lot of interesting mysteries! Doesn't quite pay off well enough in this book alone but def reading the rest of the series.

This book was very overhyped and I went into it thinking I would love it. The first half was pretty slow, and I really struggled to connect with and care about the characters. 

The world-building and plot (and tbh the writing in general) made this read intriguing and easy to finish. I’m not sure if I’ll come back for the rest of the series yet.

Okay, so technically 4.5 stars, but only because the start was slow and some parts were predictable but what I liked was that the author didn't drag anything on.

It's definitely a mystery as to what's happening and some things are still left in the air, but I'm happy with how it ends and I'm totally looking forward to the next book.

The characters were awesome and the world is so interesting! I think if you stick with the slowish beginning, you will be rewarded in the end.
