Liked the world building and the end of the book, middle was a little boring-ish.

This was a delightful surprise.

The world was so interesting and I love a band of traveler’s. The dynamic between Rey and Silla was keeping me fed throughout the entire book.

The twist and turns kept me on my toes and some reveals were truly unexpected which is delicious for me. Went to multiple bookstores in order to hunt down the second one and now it is my possession and I can not wait to start.

Also Silla not understanding her powers// it not being revealed is perfect pacing

Pretty standard fantasy plot - girl with secret past has her dad die and sets out along a road to the destination that will bring her safety. We even find out
she's a secret princess

The leaves
hiding her abilities
was a fun twist, but I felt like the addiction aspects could've been explored further. Maybe in the next book. The relationships and betrayal were also interesting, and it'll be fun to see where those go. 
A solid debut novel that has me ready to read the rest of the series when it comes out.
