It’s amazing how authors can fit such jam-packed stories into so little pages!
Tobi Ogundiran delivers such rich world-building that leaves you wanting even more! The amount of lore we’re given in such a short time is astounding.
While I loved the characters for the most part, I think that aspect did fall a little flat for me. Our main character acts younger than what we’re told, coming off a little immature at times. The rest of the cast of characters, while being brilliant, felt only like they were there to merely help or hinder her progress. I hope there will be a little more permanence with at least some characters in the next book.
That being said, I’m super excited for the next book and cannot wait to jump back into this story!! This was a really nice and quick read that keeps you intrigued from start to finish.
