Great story! I didn't know anything about the story getting into it. I am positively surprised and want to get to the sequal asap. 

The writing is very good. Learning about the world and the character is done very naturally. The world isn't too compex to understand. The map is (currently) also not very elaborate. This is a plus for me because I tend to get confused easily when the map starts of very detailed.  

The writing gives this book a modern feel. I liked this but other might not like this. I also liked how the author included a third gender in this book.

The magic is also very interesting and I want to keep learning more about it! 

Every character is interesting and unique. In every chapter something interesting but it is not a page-turner in my opinion. That is not necessarily negative, but I did not feel the need to immediately continue or pick it up again. That is the the reason why it is a 4.5 instead of a 5 for me personally.
