Wow. How is this book series not more popular?? Very unique world building, unique creatures. Vampires, witches, humans, worm people??, spacecraft-like things, and more. Sometimes the books that surprise you because you have no expectations or info going into it are the best.
Pretty even paced except with a few flash points. Variety of characters and POVs without being too much. Creepy and weird creatures. Exposition is a mix of discovering and info dump but in the form of chapter intros. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
And for those of us who hate huge cliff hangers… this books is a great first installment because it has cliffhangers to tie into the series but still has satisfying wrap up of enough plot points that it’s not annoying.
