I didn't have any problem with the world building but I was a little lost in the beginning. Still, I follow the characters and Ardis and Wendel were so great together that I just enjoyed the ride.

The world sounds so fascinating, but it's too bad it was not explained more. I really intrigued though since there's to be a sequel.
