It was a bit of a slow start, with the three (3) initial POVs that don't seem to be overlap much in the beginning. The first being from within the Savage Legion and from which the material for the publishers blurb/summary was taken. By far this is the best of the three (3), so it is not hard to understand why. In fact, I was rather irritated when not in this POV. The second seems to be primarily world building and more of a social/political commentary from within the capital city. It tends to be a little preachy at times, but it is clearly important to providing context to the main POV and the dark secret driving the main plot. So here you get intrigue and a plot twist or two. it is also what you get in the Sampe (Chapter 1) and the reason why I asked to review the book. The third POV follows the rise of a talented young woman with physical challenges that just doesn't seem to be needed in this story outside of just world building and maybe prepping for the sequel. And that is really what turns this generally interesting start of a story into a mediocre performance ... it needs the sequel to be complete (the ending leaves too much unresolved and doesn't satisfy any of the open conflicts ... to find out you need the sequel and that really really upsets me enough to dock the book a star) ...
