It took me forever to get through this book, and honestly, even though the story was interesting enough, I doubt I'll follow the series. For most of the book, I was really only interested in Xiala and Serapio's stories. I kept trying to speed read through the other stories while also trying to keep all the names and characters straight. It wasn't a bad book, just not the book for me.

started strong for me and kind of petered out. i enjoyed the writing and most of the characters, but the stakes seemed kind of unclear to me in a way that made the climax sort of disappointing. have to think on this one a bit

I liked the book and the story, but found some of the jumps between time and place a little disorienting at first.

I think this is a book I need to read in print so I can follow the names and the world building a bit closer. Definitely want to give it another shot
