This is a fast paced fantasy world with a cast system which reminded me of The Hunger Games.
The characters were interesting but the world building was what kept me turning the pages.
However, mid way I lost the attention towards this book, which is funny as that's when their travel begun and the adventure begins.
I still finished it, but I did lose momentum and nearly DNF. However I think I'll still give book 2 a go as I enjoyed the world and the writing.
