The idea and the story were really cool. And overall the storytelling was awesome as well. I would have loved a little more worldbuilding - I was confused at times but that might just be me. My biggest point of critique would be that so many people went by multiple names and I found it hard to follow who was who and many names just were so "foreign" (for lack of a better word) I could not remember them at all. Wirr, Asha and Davian were fine but those three stodd out no matter what. They're the focus and I love them all dearly but everyone just blurred together. Again: Maybe just me. I'm completely intrigued and I want to read the next books so I really liked this, I was just confused for so much of the book... But I read this in really small doses in the span of almost 6 months - always on my way to work. Maybe it would have been better to actually give this time. Because it is a really good book.
