I really enjoyed reading this book! It was fast paced and the plot was very engaging, I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes. One of the things I really liked was seeing 'behind the scenes' where gods were influencing things.
That being said, a couple things brought down the star rating for me. The writing felt more middle-grade to me, with lots of 'telling' instead of 'showing'. For example, there's a couple flashback chapters where Twillo tells the story of how he got a relic, after the first the dragon Adventus comments that Twillo must like telling stories/was good at it. Reading it for myself, I never would have come to that conclusion. It was simply what Twillo did, and what happened. While they were interesting, there was no narrative flair that I would have expected from a storyteller.
The other thing that brought it down was Adventus, our second main character, seemed to exist to only give Twillo information and save his life. I couldn't tell you anything about his personality. Granted, most of the book he's a voice in Twillo's head, but I hope his character gets to shine more in the next books.
All things considered, I am going to continue with the series. While its not on the higher quality end of what I tend to read, I still enjoyed the experience, even stayed up late to finish it!
