This feels like a new author. The beginning is a bit to chew through for me, with more grammar and spelling mistakes than I normally push through. that being said, the author has improved leaps and bounds with only minor errors in later chapters. the story, world building, pacing, and evolving of the characters over time is wonderful. I am glad I stuck with this story because it has become a favorite of mine. I look forward to seeing where the author takes us from here.
