I will be picking up the sequel for sure. There were bits that I didn’t love and sometimes the MC really got on my nerves, but I do think she stayed true to her character arc even though I got frustrated with her at times. This book definitely is a gateway to an even bigger story, and has a lot of world building but I do think it was done pretty well. In the middle the pacing gets kind of weird but it does get better and it’s worth getting through that. I do wish the POVS were more evenly balanced but I think in the next book it’ll be easier to see from the other characters more. All in all, I would recommend this book!
