I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked it, but didn’t love it. I feel like it’s a long, foundational intro to the rest of the story (much like Assassin’s Blade). I’m interested to see where book 2 leads.

The majority of the world building was at the very end, the rest was a sad tale of Stockholm syndrome but sure… I’ll bite.

 Felt like I was reading a poorly written wattpad original that was written by a 12yo on her iPhone 6 in the dead of night. Who’d just discovered the word cunt for the first time.
