I LOVED the worldbuilding in this, the plot worked great for me, and I really liked how the relationship between Karys and Ferain grew over time. The -0.25 is that the characters could have been better developed, but I had a great time and read it in less than 24 hours. I do really wish I'd known before reading that it's the first in a series, so wanted to mention that for anyone reading reviews before they read the book.
