I seem to really enjoy Aaron Oster Books. This is an author who in each series develops a solid wide plot to keep delivering amazing books to the series. The character development is vast and informative that allows you to root for a multiple character by the end of the book. This book may have started slow but leaves a unique world open and coming in the next books. A species that just has you dying to find out more about and their god like power to extinction. The magic system going on with the main characters again has you wanting to understand more of by the end of the 16 hours. For me, it was another hit series that after I made it past the slaughter the whole expansive world opened. The twist at the end was great for book 2, Now I just want that budding relationship to grow for book 2.
