adventurous emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

This didn't wow me but it did interest me and tug on some of my emotions. I'll be reading the next book for sure as most of my enjoyment from this first installment came from things to come (ie the setting up of character relationships, subplots, etc)  

It was a little rough specifically because of the in-world hatred of 'others' (reading this when multiple genocides are ongoing in Gaza, Sudan, Congo, etc). So I'm hoping a lot of the characters do some personal growth in book 2.
