This book had some really cool elements: interesting worldbuilding with inventive creatures and political history, sapphic polyamorous relationships among others. The pacing wasn't the strongest, with a lot of jouneying and not much sense of where we were going, and why which led to low energy and low stakes in a lot of the book. I'm definitely going to read the second book to see where it goes from here.
