Thank you to Netgalley and TorDotCom for this novella!

A quick and engaging novella that can be read in one sitting! Even though it's short it accomplished a lot in its world-building, and I really loved the main character. Since it's so short and has an open ending, it feels more like an introduction or a prequel, but no it's the first installment of a series. I wanted it to slow down a little more and luxuriate in the details but I still really enjoyed this and would recommend it. Maybe we'll get that in the next installment. An exciting voice in fantasy for sure!
