amazing world building but wish we were given small bits of it throughout the book rather than large chunks that threw off the flow of the book and the ending felt a bit rushed. as this was a debut, i hope the second book has better writing and a more evenly paced, better developed plot. the enemies part is well explored and i can only hope the lovers part actually feels earned/has chemistry in the second book. good first book, really hope the second one can make up what this one lacked.
