This was a great start to the series! The world is very intriguing and I'm sure we'll get to see more of it in the following books. Exploring colonialism across different planes of reality is definitely not something I've read before.
It's obviously a character focused book so I quickly grew to love Iraluri and felt very deeply for her. The topic of domestic violence/abusive relationships felt extremely real and raw in this book, truly heartbreaking in parts. Iraluri had some growth but obviously there is much more for her to do.
The conversations with Solaufein were my favourite part of the book, showing different views of the world and helping Iraluri grow. Solaufein is probably my favourite character, I just love him.
I think Iraluri's and Ser's relationship could have had a little more developement, but that really is my only problem.
Also, the cover is beautiful and I hope there will be physical version someday because I need it on my shelf!
Thank you to Charlotte for providing me with an ARC, I'm not much of a reviewer but I hope I did the book justice.
