This book pulls you in from the very beginning, the twists and turns kept me wanting to read more. I loved the book and am already reading the second one. It is intense, so be warned!

Really enjoyed this! A lot of build up but I'm looking forward to seeing where the plot goes in the rest of the series.

my favorite character (and the best character imo) dies.
Snow pirates are bastards and if the other two side characters with personalities end up dying too I shall revolt. 
The ribbons are cool and Midas seems an impulsive, ruthless dick.

(pretty sure this is vague enough to not actually spoil anything but hey)

Double cliffhanger ending
Pretty dark
Still gunna read book two though

I'm not a fan of the main tension point of a book being "is she going to get brutally raped or not?" It is an unpleasant anticipation for me

I definitely plan to continue this series. I am intrigued by the premise and hopefully that the future books in the series will be fit my reading style a bit better. Of course the genre that it is, there are plenty of red flags a waving everywhere, but we seemed to creep through the plot. It is definitely a character focused book, but I would have loved a few more answers and something a but stronger to pull me through the slower cadence of the novel.
