SOOOO close to a 5 star, but it took too long to get my attention in the beginning and kinda dragged until I was suddenly hooked. I love the atmosphere and the world and I think this might be a 5 star series overall. We shall see. Highly recommend and can’t wait to read the second. There is a decent twist that you could sort of see coming but is still fascinating to say the least.
