This book is worth reading for the intriguing world alone!
I'm not huge on the two main characters, destined love never interests me and I find usually produces shallow characters.
Having said that Zarou starts off great. Loved her for about half the book before cooling a little. Akiva is a nothing burger but Zusanna better be in book 2!

What really caught me was Brimstone and the chimera society. I want to know why the war is really happening and the history of the two factions.
