I loved the world, and I loved the characters. Although, I want to shake them both for not just communicating, but that's kind of the point of the storyline. There's not a lot of suspense, but I'm guessing maybe something more happens in volume 2. Also, the guide at the end of the book makes me think that there is just a lot to come. There are so many orders and monsters that were not discussed in volume one. Again, high hopes for volume 2 which I'm so excited to read.
