Mephi is the best boi. Animal companion done well.
I was not surprised with the Bayan and Lin were construct and Lin was a copy of the daughter reveal, but I didn't see the twist of the wife coming - although big bad guy tried to build his wife again is kinda cliché too.
I really enjoyed the difference between first person and third person POVs. My dumbass didn't even notice until 60% into the book, made it distinctive between the main two and side characters.
Somehow this book was a slog in the first 10%, it took me a whole month to read through the first 60 pages. Then eventually I couldn't put it down, I sort of knew where the story was going but I just need to see it written, you know? So it's not mind blowing, but I enjoyed it.
