Honestly I really struggled to get into this book. The story and world really confused me a lot and before I switched to the audiobook and started over that way I had no idea what was happening while reading. Then when I started to come around to the book they hit me with the annoying horny instant love between a het couple I cared nothing about and honestly ruined for me the only character I was starting to actually like by making her a love interest for literally no reason and pairing her with fucking Serapio. The romance just annoyed me so fucking much and added literally nothing to the book. I would have liked the book a lot more without it but no we had to have a boring basic het romance in a book that didn't need romance at all. 

Objectively the book was well written. The overall story had some good moments and the ending was very tense and exciting to read but until then the book mostly dragged for me and I didn't like most of the main characters.
