Oh my god, do I love this book. 
I was hooked pretty much immediately. The worldbuilding is excellent but clearly slowly building towards something greater. So are the mysteries of the characters that are teased throughout, but especially at the end. You can pretty easily connect the dots to what the “big reveal” of Noc’s past is going to be, even though I’m guessing it’ll be revealed in the next book. 
There’s clearly a lot more story to go  here, and with characters and creatures I love so much, I’m extremely excited to move forward with them.
