Solid read! The world building is a slow reveal, which can be frustrating when you're a reader (like me) who loves an encyclopedia dump of lore and rules as a prologue, but everything is explained for the most part (though what exactly happened with Big Water is never spelled out, but once again that's me being a reader who wants every single detail). 
It is action based but also a mystery/investigation, with a smidge of romance. There are also twists and betrayals and surprises. I really enjoyed it and will definitely keep reading Roanhorse.
