Okay, woah. I enjoyed this book SO much. Now, it didn’t stand out as anything personally special, but it was so good from an author’s perspective.The way the main character describes her feelings in colors was so original and inspirational. It made the writing immersive.The world itself, the empires and caraval itself were so fascinating. I needed to know what happened next and what showed up. (And I NEED to know WHY they say “by god’s teeth” PLEASE STEPHANIE PLEASE.SPOILERS AHEAD:As for the story, again, woah. Not only was there a twist villian, surprise! the twist villain turned out to be not a villain, which was both refreshing AND captivating. The characters had complex layers. And those layers got ripped away into something else. And the way it was done SO cleanly was impressive.So many stereotypes. Lots of romance and blah blah blah, the story felt rich inspite of that. I don’t know romance, was recommended this as a starter, and it has set the bar HIGH.I could go on and on about this book. Thoroughly impressed, majorly enjoyed. Will for sure be continuing the series.

I feel like this could've been a higher rating but it took me FOREVER to finish. I started reading end of last year and took a couple pauses to read other things so I wasn't fully invested. This is a 3 book series (I believe) but I won't be continuing on. I need to find a 5 star read ASAP. I love reading but haven't been enjoying it lately, Yano
