The writing of this book was expressive and drew an elaborate landscape of the fascinating world Aldor lived in. The history was dense and rich, the imagery captivating. There were instances when the writing threw me off and that could have simply been the age of the writer (the use of the word tummy instead of stomach). I also found some of the dialogue stunted or missing pieces (characters would answer unasked questions or would rapidly change the dialogue from important information). Overall though, the world building was phenomenal and the descriptive nature of the text sucked the reader into the fantasy. The found family trope was perfect for the adventurous nature of the book. The group goes from one death defying feat to another, trusting in others they have only recently bonded with. Which makes for an even more intense read. I enjoyed the character interactions and the closeness they exhibited throughout their adventure. The back and forth adds humour to some of the more frightful moments. I enjoyed the women in this novel, Tempest and Keira are fierce, independent and working to better their world. Although, I would have loved if they had more time within the novel. Instead, it seemed like they were used as a means to motivate Aldor and less as their own character. This book was full of action from the beginning, a great start for such a young author. Also, the creatures and some events were especially gruesome, but fascinating! I was given a copy of this ebook, by The Parliament Press, in exchange for an honest review.
