I love the glossary, it definitely aided in understanding, which is something a lot of fantasy novels don't do. The full colour maps at the beginning of the book are beautiful. The entire story is magical and enthralling, I finished it in a day!

2 stars - it was okay. 

Lots of well done worldbuilding, but still the same old recycled fantasy tropes we saw many times over. The first few chapters are quite confusing as we jump from character to character a la GRR Martin, but less engaging. Some of the word choices were odd and I found the dialogue a bit stilted and stiff sometimes.
However I liked the steampunk elements and I loved the maps and chapter head illustrations a lot.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
