This is a really good debut novel! I felt the world building was fantastic and the two different perspectives fantastic. Kyla isn’t my favorite character, I feel like her beliefs in her faith make her very naive, and I also feel like more cocky then she should be as I feel like in her haste she caused a lot of problems, and her haste was because all she cares about is not moving forward in her faith, it came off as very greedy. I wish she would open her eyes to the fact that I don’t think the others around her are as naive with the faith as she is.
Marlowe is the complete opposite with no faith in the God-Sage at all. And with good reason. At this point in time I feel like I side with him in how things are being run and that there is definitely something fishy happening. I hope to see more development out of his character past just the all consuming anger.
