I loved this book! Yeah, the writing was a bit choppy and towards the end, the story got kind of sloppy and confusing as if the author just wasn't sure how how he wanted it to end. Still, I enjoyed this journey immensely, and easily got caught up it. I started reading it before bedtime and then got up the next morning and finished it in one sitting. Book 2 is already ordered from Amazon.

Loved this book! Well-written, not as predictable as expected, and different from everything else out there. There is a strong sense of "TBC" at the end, I find myself torn as I would like to read more about these characters but I also liked the "riding off into the sunset/not everything resolved" ending as well. I've only given 5 5 star ratings this year, and this is one of them.

Not my taste. Some good writing, lot of creativity but it felt slow to me. I did not like main character much.
