I really enjoyed this. I could feel the beginnings of a reading slump before I started this and now it's completely gone. It seemed fast paced because there was always something going on but not in a confusing way. I loved the premise and world building, all of the characters felt important and developed enough considering their relevance to the story and despite it being the start of a trilogy, it could've easily been a standalone.
