This is a hidden gem in the fantasy genre! The world building, the different and varying cultures and societies, and the wonderfully crafted characters all exist in a beautifully woven tale of happiness, solidarity, and the strength in sorrow and trials. I highly recommend First Born as you journey through a world full of life and vibrancy, brought into focus by the characters that exist within it.

At the back is a very thorough and detailed lexicon of images, phrases, and speech translations for the many wonderful phrases of the cultural diversity of the world!

I cant wait for more and to see where Astra's next book takes me!
