 This was such a wild ride! It was action-packed from the very first page to the very last and constantly had me wondering what was going to happen next. The world-building, characters, and writing were all so well done and gripping. It was such a well-rounded story. The only thing I could have done without was some of the romantic elements, but they were so minor that it didn't hinder my enjoyment all that much.

This was definitely one of those books where I was so excited to find out how it ended but as soon as I was done I was left with a sadness that it was over. Luckily, there are three more books and I can't wait to pick them up to see how the story progresses!
