And then she'll have won this childish game of wills.
The plot seems to be that Dawsyn and her ally are constantly in a hurry, but nothing much actually happens. The stakes should be very high (life and death!) but it doesn't feel like that at all. Dawsyn and her ally rush around from a hiding place to another,
Oh, and just to add to the annoyance of this all, the book has a bloody cliffhanger ending. ๐

It took about 30-50 pages to really get into this story. There is a lot of world building, and I had to reread a couple times to really get a grasp. Ultimately, I think the author did a great job. Especially with a debut novel!
I can't wait to get my hands on book two in September. AND THE CLIFFHANGER BETTER HAVE A DIFFERENT OUTCOME OR I WILL RIOT!
