Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.
Library book was due but also it was very similar to the beginning of The Starless Sea so I did not check it back out.

First third was a bit slow but then it picked up. Really enjoyed the plot, though the main character definitely had hero energy. Happy that this will be a trilogy and definitely will continue.
