Thank you very much for the copy of your book in exchange for my honest review!
Overall this book has all the makings of a great YA fantasy. There is unique world building, a bizarre and intriguing power concept, political intrigue and rebellion, religious conflict and multiple POV.
Personally I feel like this book just needed some more thorough editing. All the bones are there it just needed a good polish. There are some continuity errors throughout but nothing I feel detracts from the story.
I do also hold some issue with the FMCs. I felt they could have been more dynamic and given more attention and depth (Aerhee excluded as she was given a lot of backstory to explain her behavior and perceptions). I'm not saying all FMCs need massive back stories but I do need them to have a certain level of depth to feel genuine.
I am looking forward to see how this author grows through the series!
