I was a little conflicted about this book. On the one hand, I loved the world building and the differences between the Kingdoms, and the scifi elements. I enjoyed the badass female characters, especially Vixen, especially when we were able to see her shine, and Lorrek was a fascinating character, especially when we got to see the steps that had lead him to this point, and I will definitely be picking up the next book to find out what happens next. On the other, there were a few places where I found myself jolted out of the story by changes of pov, and I found the epilogue a little repetitive - I liked how it had the shared theme of waiting - but some information was regurgitated which derailed the impact it had. Also, for a large part of the book, it felt as though magic to some extent was a 'fix it all' with the only limitations strength (and coming up against someone stronger), that changed a bit more towards the end, and I hope to see this developed in more in the next book. Still, overall a very enjoyable read that kept me reading, devouring the book in one go.
