Well, frankly, I'm intrigued by this world. Not perfectly written...there's some clunkiness and you go through the majority of the book not having much of a frame of reference for a lot of what they are talking about...it's action-packed and I love the main trio. Hopefully, the world building in this first one will help the second one feel smoother. I also got crazy Lila Bard and Kell vibes from Ari and Cvareh! Cheers!
