Wow! It's been a while since I have read a book that "I couldn't put down." Really great story and fascinating world building. It had me hooked from the beginning. I will say that I have a pet peeve for when book series split an overarching story into multiple books, without each book being able to stand solidly on its own. This series kind of falls into that territory so far, but I am excited to pick the rest of the series up.
