It was a bit hard to get into— I spent the first 4 hours a bit lost and confused, but by hr 10 I couldn’t put it down!

The ending was a bit less anticlimactic than I guessed at, but set things up well for a fun next book.

Overall, amazing world building and lots of fun concepts to mentally turn over long after finishing.
