A book with so many ideas deserves to be longer. I think the amount of worldbuilding there was was interesting. But in order for me to feel attached to the characters to understand their motivations, and to care about everyone’s fate, I needed more time with everyone and the characters be more fleshed out.

Iraxi has lost her family, in the middle of a love triangle, and heavily pregnant when we meet her. There is so much plot that were dropped in the center of! So top it off the court intrigue set during an apocalyptic event. I felt like Iraxi did not get the hero journey she deserved. Worst of all I didn’t care about anybody.
