This was an enjoyable read. The first chapter in particular hooked me, but I did feel as though it lost focus a little further in, which made it harder to stay engaged. I felt as though the descriptions and the world-building were done well, and I was certainly left interested and wanting to know more in that respect. I struggled a little with the characters, but I think that may be because I am older than the characters/target audience, although I will say I loved that Lilac was the muscle, and incredibly down to earth and she was easily my favourite character. It will be interesting to see how they and the plot develops in the next book.
