A good story made difficult to read
It was a good story but there were so many made up words it’s difficult to read and understand. I had to skip large parts of gibberish.

Azeron: Beyond the Veil is the first book in the Azeron series by Francoise H. W. Krull, with illustrations by the author.
The story is very confusing when we begin, it's clear that Lily is in the centre of whatever is going on, however there are a lot of characters and different POVs that had my mind boggled for a while.
The plot is good and I liked the conceptualisation and worldbuilding, however there's to much unnecessary information that make it boring at time and is what I call 'skimmable content'.
But the content that does matter, the adventure, the romance, the mystrey is put forth in a brilliant manner that sucks you in once you get a grip on the story and where it's leading. It's got decent plot twists that aren't necessarily 'shocking' but the build-up is good.
The main characters are well written and I'm hoping that the next book sheds a little more light on their character arcs.
Lily, has a typical role that we find in many of these kinds of novels, but I do like her. She started as someone who was considered troublesome to something extraordinary (again, it's a plot point we see often but I enjoyed it) and there's another character, who shall not be named because #spoilers who may have stolen a teensy bit of my heart.
So for the most part, I did enjoy this book. It's not perfect but it's good and given that this is the author's first book it's a great start. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel!
