It kind of snuck up on me how much I enjoyed this book. I think when I started it I wasn't really in the mood for it, but the only other options I had for audiobooks at the moment was the first book in the Wheel of Time series and I wasn't quite ready to commit to that yet. So I kept on with it and I ended up really liking the characters. I felt a little lost on the way the countries and titles worked, but I think it would have stuck better in my brain if I had read a physical copy. Besides that, I found the world building very interesting. I didn't realize it's a trilogy rather than a duology which sucks because I don't love starting series that aren't finished, but oh well. I'll likely read the rest.
