Ahh, I couldn't put this book down! This was such a fun read, My only disappointment is that I didn't realize it was the start of a trilogy until halfway through, so now I have to wait in agony until books 2 and 3 are published.

I'm not a huge fan of multiple POVs, but Kimmerer handled it really well. All three characters felt like they got enough 'screentime.' I enjoyed seeing them uncover their biases and prejudices while navigating a new perspective of their world. The slow burn romance from three perspectives felt real, not like the author was trying to shoehorn something together. The characters were unique, though I was surprised that most of the characters were white, given how much diversity I've been seeing in fantasy lately.

The book ended with a twist that was different than what I'd been anticipating, but there's enough resolution that you don't feel like you were just left hanging at the end.
