When I heard about this book, I was really intrigued. I got a chapter sampler from Netgalley but never got to it, so I was thrilled when Owlcrate picked it as their January book. And it's a solid read! I found the worldbuilding a bit lacking at times -- as in there was a huge world but I didn't feel it was properly explained; i.e. I didn't know what words meant when they were used. But, I was definitely enjoying the read. It doesn't seem like it'll be a series at this point, but I can see myself revisiting this world in the future.
