THIS WAS GOOD. SO GOOD. Honestly, it took a lot more effort for me to actually get into the book at first because I was getting used to all the new terms and all the world building (I had to bring a notebook with me whenever I had this book with me) but once I got passed that everything made sense and I loved it so much! I did have a few issues here and there especially in the first third of the book since I was getting confused a bit, but the positives definitely outweighed the negatives for me with this one and I enjoyed reading this the whole way through! The characters were all really awesome and although I was leaning towards loving Iz more out of the two main characters in the beginning I ended up loving her and Safi equally as the story went on. I can't wait to read the rest of this series!!!!!!! I NEED THE NEXT ONE NOW! 
 (view spoiler)[Also, not going to lie I love the Merik x Safi OTP. Saw it coming since their first encounter in the book tbh. Really hoping that Iz gets together with someone as well later on in the series. (hide spoiler)]
