I'm kind of at a loss for words on this one. I loved it. It captured me from the start. The world-building left a little to be desired, but I think we got there. I can't wait to dive deeper into the family drama in the next one. I think maybe what I was missing was more from the bad guys? Like, they're basically the same as the good guys, so why did they become the bad guys? A few chapters from one of their perspectives would have made it interesting. I also need the old men to die. Eff both of those guys. Big time. I get that they can't just kill them cuz of honor or whatever, but they're just a straight up problem. Looking forward to seeing what happens next in this series!
