The beginning of the book was especially compelling. The set up with Nyx, her school and family was interesting and richly drawn. I was definitely the most interested in her story, although Kanthe's story was also compelling. I was less interested in Rhaif, but perhaps he'll grow on me. The bats were fascinating, and the jungles were richly drawn.
I will also say I'm not a huge fan of alternate fantasy spellings (let's add some extra y's to words!). Fortunately it was mostly, though not entirely, confined to the "quotes" at the beginning of the sections which read like fantasy old English.
