This is the first request that I've received on this book!

Update: 4/5/23: It's a rejection, but a nicely worded, encouraging one! Loved the premise, well-built world, interesting protagonist, writing was nice with a good voice. She didn't have the "must have" feeling while reading. Fair enough, and I appreciate that she got back to me within a month.
