Overall, I liked the world and the story. I thought the mix of fantasy races was interesting and there were some good twists. 

However. This book has an incredible amount of errors. I get that it was self published, but I caught three in the first 100 pages and continued to catch them throughout the book. There were also some weird word choices, in my opinion, and some writing that seemed so repetitive. One of the lines I highlighted was "It was freezing inside, as if we were standing in a freezer."

Also, the fmc has the weakest legs known to literature based on how often they wobbled or felt like jelly. The spicy scene at the end also gave me some major icks.
