The lore and the world are interesting concepts but the execution was not great for me. The writing overall felt a little sloppy and I was disappointed that the descriptions of everything felt flat. The characters were extremely unlovable to me. They either didn't have a personality or were really annoying. I also didn't feel like the love stories were organic - they felt very forced.
Graphic: Animal death
Moderate: Violence and War
