4.5

I really enjoyed how this book fed us worldbuilding information as we needed it instead of using any info dumps. I also really appreciated that the book had some darker moments and themes (one example: betrayal) without turning bleak or grim. It kept a generally positive outlook even when things seemed dark for Hitomi. This was a very fun read, and I'm glad I picked it up. I'm really looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Blood and Violence

Minor: Death of parent

Additional CW:

In addition to the CW's I tagged, there is also an animal injury which happens briefly. It was an accident and Hitomi tries to make it right by paying for a healer before fleeing, but we never get a resolution beyond that.
