I really enjoyed this one. The twin dynamic was emotional and compelling, and I was quickly invested in both Qrodin and Qat despite how different their lives turned out. The found-family vibe of the traveling party was a highlight for me, each character felt distinct and fun, with just enough mystery to keep me curious. There’s a great balance of action, heart, and world-building, and the story clearly sets up a much bigger journey ahead. A strong, engaging start that made me want to keep going.

Such wonderful worldbuilding

The worldbuilding in this book is just fantastic. There are a lot of magic spells and fun magical items, several interesting new species, monsters, festivals, and neat customs.

There are secrets, mysteries, treasures, battles, and assassinations.

This book is all about found family, in more ways than one. I loved watching the group grow as more characters joined. Nicely balanced dynamics.

There are just enough plot strings left for the rest of the series. Can’t wait to read the next one!
