First and foremost, I LOVED the world building in this novel. That was by far the highlight of the book for me,
However, the characters were also fairly good, I especially liked Ig from the beginning. His predicament is heart breaking, He wants to be a good man, wants his freedom, but doesn't at the same time. Seeing how that played out through the plot was interesting
The religions, politictial maneuvering wasn't done poorly, but it wasn't especially gripping.
My only real complaint was the plot itself, it didn't really go anywhere that treads new grounds. That being said, it was a solid enough story, with stellar world building and magic system that I will absolutely be reading book two in this series when it comes out.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the e-ARC of this!
