Thank you to NetGalley for an e-ARC!
The setting of this world was so immersive. I loved all of the descriptions of the magical plants/spores. It felt otherworldly and had some touches of sci-fi, especially with the ability to add "alterations" to your body. The types of alterations seem endless and I loved discovering the different types of abilities that one can have.
I loved the dynamic and banter between our main characters, Din and Ana. Ana reminded me of a blend of Sherlock Holmes and "L" from death note, and I never knew what to expect from her.
The overall mystery was a lot of fun to unravel. I predicted some of the twists but others truly socked me. I'm glad that the main mystery was solved in this first book. So, it can be read as a standalone. Excited to see what these character get up to in the next book.
