Thank you Netgalley for this eARC. 4.5 for this book. This took me a bit to get into and I had a little harder time with pronunciations and trying to understand the world. Took me a while to realize the glossary and pronunciation guide was at the end of the book but also like to avoid these due to potential spoilers. Once I got the hang of the world I needed to know what would happen. I love seeing the growth of the MFC and the twist and turns. I figured out a couple right away but loved to see how it developed. Now I need to have the 2nd book to finish the story!
