I only have 2 real criticisms of this book.
1- it takes a good while for the true plot to start (as in we are almost half way through the book before the action really starts), but I don't mind it as much as I have with other books that have the same problem because the first half isn't just filler nonsense, there is a lot of character development and world building being done there, I just think the action could have started earlier.
Potential spoiler!
2- there are some significant things mentioned by the characters multiple times, so I naturally thought they would become a plot twist or revelation down the line. But the potential for that was just sort of left to wither a bit. I was expecting a big reveal due to how much this one thing was mentioned and it just came to nothing.
Overall, loved it! Definitely going to be staying on my shelf for a later reread. F T Lukens is an author I always trust for a good time!
