I really enjoyed the story, characters and world building! The main characters are mostly loveable even though, or maybe especially because, you often think “noooo don’t do that” and yet absolutely understand/empathise why they act like they do. At times I felt like the story had some hiccups but I am not sure if it’s because of how I read it or how it’s been written. All in all I am looking forward to the second part!

Loved the characters and the world lore along with the story! Sadly I had some problems following along properly, to me it felt a bit like being thrown into a story that has been going on since quite some time. Like starting a series mid season. Apart from that it was a good read!
