Thank you to netgalley for giving me an Arc of this for an honest review!

3.5 but added .5 for it being a debut. If you're a fan of Witcher I think this would be right up your alley, I thought it was really well paced until the last 20% which felt so rushed with many built up moments condensed into 2-3 sentences. An extra 100 pages flushed out the rushed-ness coulda made this a solid 4 to 5 star.

I felt like the author managed to perfectly capture making an expansive world but writing a self contained story within that world, which I thought was perfect! I would love to learn more about this world and it's systems in another book, not necessarily following Ex and Arinya but would love to see them team up again for sure! 

Overall very solid debut though!
