The pacing of this book is practically perfect, I can’t believe how quickly I tore through 400-something pages.

As is the first book of three it does feel complete enough of a story that I’m happy to wait patiently for a copy of the second one to become available to me.

In the meantime: I’m MORE than happy to fully THROW this book at people and demand they read it if for some wild reason they haven’t already.
