I picked this up because I've heard great things about the magic system. I'd say the book was cool overall, the magic system is indeed very unique and that's my jam. I did not care for the multifarious ways women's bodies were described and can totally understand why some readers would opt out for that reason. All in all this was a good read for me. I thought some of the twists were interesting and I enjoyed the intrigue behind certain characters. It may not have blown me out of the water but it was a solid fantasy to me nevertheless.
