I really enjoyed this book, but I think I'm looking forward moreso to later entries in the series. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot is interesting, but it truly feels like the first in a long series. It's a bit slow-paced and sparse on answers. However, any time anything action oriented happens, I'm dialed in, and I want to keep reading to find out what all this stuff means. My only other complaint is that the slow-pacing leads to a really rushed feeling ending, like the pace abruptly shifts into hyperdrive. Overall though, I did really enjoy it and I'm looking forward to more. 👍
