*I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
If you're looking for a first book in a series that features a rag tag group of adventurers against what seem like impossible odds, you should definitely check this book out. It follows our main character, Emily, who is a gifted fighter graduating from school with no real direction. The one job she wants doesn't seem to be available, until she received a strange request from a representative of the organization she wishes to work for.
While the world building in this book was really good, I found myself wanting even more. The author does a really good job of explaining the core concepts and constructs of the world, but when he delved into background and history I just wanted it to be expanded even more. Hopefully the future books will have even more expansion of the world.
I really enjoyed Emily's adventures and her blunders in creating meaningful relationships. She a little unpolished and quick to rush to judgements, but the book shows her growth as she learns to interact and work with others.
All in all a fun adventure that is definitely looking to shape up into an epic series.
