My Thoughts:
So I felt the first chapters had a bit of a slow start, but I did like it, it had just enough action to keep me interested, The world building was definitely vivid, I did think that the characters needed a bit of work other than that this was a good read. Overall if you like action romance and suspense and don't pay an over amount to the little things like I do then you will absolutely love this.
People who read are always the most interesting. What they read, why they read and especially which books they read by who. The genres and the words and the intricacies of the sentences on the page. Its always a pleasure to go back to that old friend, the newest journey ahead. Words of all who think and feel, become and dream.
