Two chapters in and I was already impressed with how this book is written. Unlike other similar books which force things down our throat, it doesn't actually set every single bit of worldbuilding and context out immediately and leaves us wanting the answers.
And yes Oraya is unique and talented, but BECAUSE she's been training her whole for this. It makes SENSE. In so many similar books she'd have been a shy little villager thrown out into a mad world and magically being the best, this time it actually has meaning/reason.
The ending was a tad cliche, however I thought the rest of the book felt pretty fresh for the kind of book it is.
