What a book. I'm blown away! I was both entertained and enthralled all the way through and could barely put the book down. The pacing was just right so you stayed long enough in each section to fully understand what was happening but not too long that it got boring or stale.

I loved the characters and especially loved that the main characters weren't perfect. It's so frustrating when the main character hasn't had any training or education, yet somehow they excel better than those that have been training for years and years. I loved the character growth as well and it happened naturally. I could see where critical turning points were and I was so invested all the way through. This goes for the villains as well, I loved that there was danger and I genuinely feared for the characters wellbeing. 

I also didn't see the majority, if not all, of the twists coming. I've read a lot and can usually predict a fair amount, but these floored me and I was sat gasping to myself.
