This book left with a lot to unpack, a lot of questions and I didn't know where to start.  And that's all in a good way.  Tamsyn Muir has created this intricate and complex world and describes it so beautifully that you can see it clearly and understand what's going on.  But then you realize, like the characters at times, you have no idea what's going on.

I'm a HUGE thriller fan and this one kept me guessing even through the epilogue.  Highly recommend this if you love fantasy and a good thriller.  Looking forward to continuing the story with book two.  

And not as an afterthought, Moira Quirk brought the characters to life brilliantly.
