Happy that I finally read it myself to see where all the hype is coming from.
The good: The characters are likeable, it’s fast paced, high stakes, has some pretty good plot twists in the mix.
The bad: I felt like the world building was quite lacking. The setting could’ve been even more immersive with some more attention to detail regarding the imagery. I also felt like the plot had holes and couldn’t choose a direction at multiple points.
A 3 star read with a 4 star ending. I’ll continue on in the series, but it didn’t leave an insane impression on me.
