Welcome to the first book in a new series by D.H. Aire, author of the Highmage's Plight Series.
Despite poor editing and horrible formatting on my Kindle, this was a great book. Loved the characters and world. It was complex so I would have loved an appendix to explain the various factions. Hope there is a second book in the series coming soon.
The last book by this author was much better. This one felt like a knock-off or a rush job. It rambled a lot. I had to keep going back and reread sections to understand what was happening. I'm not going to read any more in this series.
