I really enjoyed this story. The author succeeded in maintaining the tension till the very end which kept my attention and urged me to read faster.
Saying that I think the story lacked proper worldbuilding as well as character development moments and was too focused on the progression of the quest. After sometime it felt too fast moving for my taste especially because it's the first in a series and I'm still not emotionally invested in the characters.
I liked the ending a lot but it lacked the emotional punch the author was aiming my way because I didn't much care about the fate of our beloved characters.
This will work as a good palette cleanser between chunky epic fantasies and it's quite self contained to work as a standalone.
P.S. - The audio narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds is fantastic. Definitely recommend.
