A good first start, I'm certainly interested to see where this goes. Lost me a few places along the way but it usually got me back after some time.
A vague semi-spoiler content warning: there's some dubious consent stuff that made me uncomfortable, but it didn't get to the point of me putting the book down. Usually that's a hard no for me, and this book did toe the line in my opinion, but I ended up sort of accepting that. Overall it didn't make me hate the book but I will be warning anyone I recommend this to.
