The world created is beatiful but it feels like this hole first book is a setup for a story instead of a story. A lot happens but for some reason im not that invested. All the caracters stay kinda superficial. Which is 2 bad because i liked the start and the relationship between the sisters. I liked the setup of the passionate relationship that she left behind and is trying to return 2 for the first part of the book. However it is all lacking depth for me. Which is probably why this clifhanger to hold me over and make me exited for the next book does nothing for me either. I think the book did just not have enough time to build this complicated world and fill it with this manny caracters and give them depth as well. The author gave it a good effort but in my view just treed to do to much at ones.
