I really liked this book! I enjoyed the characters and complex world building.

I’m excited to see if Conor doesn’t actually suck in future books and who Lin ends up with!

Lin is my favorite!!

A very interesting storyline. However, some details are over explained when not needed & some wording used to frequently. Overall an exciting story making the reader hungry for more.

The narrative and characters were well done and interesting, it was hard to put the book down as the end of chapters left me wanting more. 

My only problem was that the descriptions of things and places were often over worded and felt unnecessary as well as frequently having the same descriptor words right after each other. 

Overall is was filled with adventure, mystery and some romance which I enjoyed greatly !
