A slow burn political fantasy with rich world building. Serves as a good setup for the duology, but will require a patient read. Slow & steady pace with lots of world & character setup. Listed as adult, but reads more new adult. Set in an interesting Greek & Russian influenced world & centered around a system of tense political factions headed by human “gods“. The ending leaves things in a bit of a cliffhanger. I'm anxiously awaiting the sequel.
