i liked this book and i'm look forward to book 2 BUT the writing bothered me slightly. it was too simple for such a world. it didn't bother me enough to not continue but i wasn't impressed by it. & i hope her writing matures into something more eloquent because her world deserves it. the characters are intriguing & the first book is definitely more of an intro story--can't wait to see what happens next! 
 (the world is also reminiscent of Avatar: The Last Airbender lmao! i just could not not make that connection! hehe)
