It starts off really building up the world and the mystery but once it’s the last two moons things finally pick up and take HARD turns. I wished the buildup didn’t feel like a slog at times. And while I liked the characters that was the only thing really pushing me since the mystery element took so long to build. But now that it’s getting somewhere I’m very much looking forward to the second book.
