Not perfect but I love it anyway.

edit: I've now read the current 5 books and really enjoyed all of them.
My few minor issues are things that are very common in the romance genre, the constant stereotypical gender division and using this the term female for women. This is a bit more glaring, since it isnt actually a romance book. (Still irritating in romance books, just more where I have found this to be a feature of the book.)

Thats said, there is some incredible world building going on in this entire series. Really fun easy reads. I really hope for more!!

At first the book seemed like it was going to be bland, but Bishop's world building sucked me in hard. Making the Others vicious without being psychotic was a difficult balancing act and she pulled it off well. I am highly looking forward to the next book in the series.

Good story, good character development, nice twists. Nice to see the main character actually be voiced, so to speak, compared to the Dark Jewel's trilogy. Definitely a world I will continue reading.

The worldbuilding here had some novelties that I really liked. Why is everyone so mad that the Others eat humans? Have we not been reading vampire and werewolf books this whole time? The Others are just more organized about it. I really liked Meg, and the way she charmed the Others. I loved Tess, need more of her! Scary as f*ck and runs the bakery? Yes. There's not really any romance in this book.

Though it was going to be a dumb shifter romance, but instead found an amazing feat of world building!
