I really struggled with all of the changing POVs. The fact that all of them cross paths as one point made me question everyone like ‘has this person already been introduced or not?' and it made it so challenging to keep track of their current locations as well.

Corban was probably the only character I cared deeply about. Some other POVs grew on me, but others like Veradis felt like it was just telling me the story of Nathair through Vradis' POV since he literally had no agency in any of his actions past the first few chapters.

I liked the direction of where the story is heading enough to pick up the next book.
