I am being generous, my rating is more like 2.5.

The book was OK. The flashbacks happen at weird points in the story and ruin the pacing. Exposition is also handled a bit oddly. Some things are explained multiple times, while other things are just mentioned like they were explained before. The characters are rather bland. I kind of liked Shera and Meia, at least compared to the others. Shera is a bit too much like the protagonists in YA novels. Overpowered and lacking personality. The Shadow POV really influenced me to the point that I hate Calder and don't want to read his side.

Not sure whether I'll continue the series. Right now the negative points are just too much. But I still enjoyed the book. It's just not great.
