I thought this was a good book. I had a good time reading it. I liked the characters, Koffi and Ekon. I thought the pacing was off at times. I like the worldbuilding. I'm excited to see what happens in the sequel.

What I Didnât Like:
⢠In my opinion it took a bit too long for the characters to get into the Greater Jungle (which seems to be the main plot point in the synopsis).
⢠There were a lot of names being dropped in the very beginning which made it a bit hard for me to keep track of
⢠I think the authorâs clutch phrase is âCharacter A started to [blank] then thought better of itâ (there were so many times that phrase was used that it became distracting)
â˘
⢠Not a fan of when conflict could be solved if characters JUST COMMUNICATED
⢠A bit confused by the end:
What I Liked:
⢠The first few chapters definitely intrigued me and although it took me quite a bit to get all the way through, I was interested in finding out what was going to happen next
⢠The writing was both easy to read and has some beautiful lines
⢠The world building felt well-developed and thought out (probably the highlight of the book for me)
⢠OCD rep
