Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.

Started as audiobook, loved it but couldn’t follow through properly. Decided to get the physical copies instead at some point :)

I really enjoyed the story, characters and world building! The main characters are mostly loveable even though, or maybe especially because, you often think “noooo don’t do that” and yet absolutely understand/empathise why they act like they do. At times I felt like the story had some hiccups but I am not sure if it’s because of how I read it or how it’s been written. All in all I am looking forward to the second part!
