Finally diving into this series is exactly what I needed. Detailed, otherworldly and brilliant. 
 It did seem like this first book was more set up for the series, but I'm totally OK with that. With such a complex world I'm content that a solid foundation is being set. 
 So excited to see more of this world that KMM has created. I don't read a massive amount of paranormal/urban fantasy (not as much as I used to anyway) so entering into such a rich world that is so well written is a treat. I have so many questions that keep me turning pages but I am loving every minute of it. 
 My only issue so far is the way sometimes Mac foreshadows things with little comments. Like she is going back a year down the road and remembering the story. Those comments of foreshadowing or character self admonishment and reflection throw me out of the story a bit. But that is just a small issue. I'm still all in.
