Well recommended! A fantastic kingdom building story that draws you in deeper the further you read. Unfortunately, a giant caveat : poor grammar, missing words. incorrect verb tenses and swapped terms plague this story so much that it frequently feels like a machine-translated novel gone wrong. If you can get past the exhausting mental gymnastics, the story is well worth the investment.
