An excellent read! The descriptions are well done, without being overdone. You can walk away from the book understanding who these character are through the amazing detail put into them. Despite not yet knowing this world, the reader is still brought in and left wanting more. The way in which Byron tells the narrative you feel a sense of familiarity, in this wholly unfamiliar world. And despite the fact that we may not know everything about this world yet, it serves to increase interest instead of deterring it.  I look forward to reading more!
