So I hate rating this so low but the constant switching of perspectives made it really hard to get attached to characters and follow the story. 
I also felt like the end was so anticlimactic.

It was first Afro fantasy book I've read and it's a shame that this setting is such a niche one. I loved every ounce of culture, atmosphere and life that just filled every page. 

I think execution was a bit shaky in quality, there was a lot of "tell don't show". The villain was quite passive for majority of the story, the main goal of our heroes is a MacGuffin of unspecified power. 
The topics of genocide and rape popped up quite abruptly and I was taken aback.


The pacing was questionable but I this book was such an unexpected discovery that I'm letting it slide. I would recommend it to my younger sister (if only she read more books).

I have so many questions for book 2!

I didn't love the romance subplots or some of the tropes but the ending has me so excited

I enjoyed it but wasn't blown away. Also the ending didn't feel like an ending. I understand it's designed for a sequel, but I found it to be an unsatisfying end rather than an intriguing hook
