Because apparently salt water is bad and the ship had so much drinkable water on hand they could waste it on meaningless tasks. Then there was a scene in which a character’s job was to scrub a middle deck inside a giant ship to replace the salt water on the deck with fresh water. The kingdom appears to be called “the Kingdom”. The map at the front of the book (which is quite pretty) shows places like Second City and Third City, located on the opposite side of the continent from The Far East. The worldbuilding seems too simplistic-and while this may be improved later or due to a POV character’s limited knowledge, it was enough to throw me off. However, this fell short in a couple of key ways. A throne that needs retaking? Always a good time. A raised-from-the-dead warlock with a sassy demon trapped in the gems embedded in his arm? Very fun. Right off the bat there are several fun things that jumped out at me.
