What a great start for a new to me fantasy series.
It's well written, the world building is amazing, the plot is not fast paced but keeps you hooked as you want to know what will be next.
I love Far East setting in a fantasy novel and this one was new and vivid.
The cast of characters is well thought and intriguing.
It's an engrossing and entertaining dark and gritty novel.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this arc, all opinions are mine.
