There is so much I like about this book. The premise is great, the lore is good. There is a slow understanding of the world without too much info dumping. This was a completely unique story that used every single page to put things together, it didn’t feel predictable and actually kept things very puzzle-like all the way through.

My biggest problem with this book is that it feels so slow. There is so much build up for the majority of the book and it leaves so many questions that don’t get answered until the action starts more than halfway in. Once the action started I was zipping through it, but I had to drag myself through the first 200 pages.

Nevertheless, I will be reading the next book in the series because the bits and pieces of this story that finally come together in the end are too juicy to not keep going.
