A solid Okay.
A+ for being fast paced and violent, with an interesting plot and blood magic premise, however the writing felt a bit messy. Maybe it was the first person POV, as Ikenna was a tad overbearing with being impulsive and jumping to conclusions that were barely fleshed out from extremely limited accusations/suspicions. Her inner monologues drug on longer than needed and were repeatative. The book deals with important issues pertaining to race and prejudices, but spells them out for you every other chapter; a lot of hand holding and lack of faith in the reader.
I still had fun and am hoping the sequel evolves into something more finessed.
