This book is enjoyable. It takes a bit for this book to get rolling but once it does, wow. This book checks off all my boxes.
This book is another gem that will become part of my collections. There's an ability a character gains later on which is basically foresight from mistborn. I was glad to have a way to validate my assumptions.

Unfortunately they are also all over the place so humanity lives in cities and walled villages and travel is dangerous
