What a refreshing spin on a very standard heroic journey plot structure! The setting, structure, and characters blend a rich set of ancestries which are horribly underrepresented in this genre. I also loved the fact that the plot moved 100mph while still giving the main characters space to breathe and connect with one another.
The plot has few surprises in store, however. After the first 20 pages, most readers will be able to sketch out how the rest of the book unfolds. Don’t let that stop you from a fantastic, unique, and fast read though - I loved it.
