5.0
This book is an excellent example of how a master storyteller can elevate characters and story elements that at first glace appear ordinary and trite into a complex, richly imagined, fast paced story you can't put down. Characters with complex motivations and some very peculiar alliances of necessity. Plot twists you thought you predicted only for everything to go sideways.
This is book one in a series, and can be read as a standalone, but you will want to dive into the rest of the series! It contains a full story arc, no cliff hangers but there are some huge questions left open for subsequent books. It follows the Durga System books, which provide some further character development and world building that adds richness to this book but are not needed to understand and enjoy this book.
