Adrian Tchaikovshy writes interesting female characters. This book is amazing, fast-paced, & action packed. Cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

I went into this book without know anything about the author or the plot. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this, and wanted to keep reading it.

There is a learning to curve to this book. The fist 100 pgs are difficult to get through because it feels like there is a lack of direction. The story follows the narratives of Maniye and Asmander. Maniye is the MC of this book so the overarching conflict and story revolves around her. Asmander is a a side character but it is evident that he will become more important to the story. The first 100 pgs there is very little connection between these two narratives and most of Asmander's narrative serves as world-building and exposition. It might be due to my lack of experience reading fantasy but there are multiple points in the book where it's difficult to visualize the characters and some of the physical fights that take place. Once the story starts to become more focused and the conflict is clear it becomes an exciting read.

I'd rate this as 4/5 as I do think the pacing and structure could be better. The chapters are short so the narratives switch often, lengthening the chapters instead and continuing the narratives could make the story carry more momentum. The descriptions of the character designs could be a bit more clear(granted this could just be my experience). Overall, It's a good fantasy story with a very detailed and interesting world. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
