An enjoyable fantasy series. I am still confused as to who we can trust and not trust, maybe we can’t trust anyone.
I really enjoyed that the main female character didn’t always come out on top, that she can get hurt and does need help. Too many time in fantasies you have a young human woman and yeah she can do anything and everything. It’s refreshing to read a book where that isn’t the case. I believe it will lead to an interesting journey that we will get to go on with her.
The world building, I think could be better, I couldn’t really ‘see’ the environment or the gates etc, wasn’t descriptive enough to transport you there. Many unanswered questions, which weren’t explained at all in the book, hopefully they will be in the next book, but not sure as some of the unanswered points were just small segways in the story.
