Very unique compared to usual fantasy settings. Think magic academy, fantasy meets peaky blinders vibes. Good tension and sass between fmc and mc. Good found family. Unique magic system. I wanted more spice because the MC is delish lol but the small spice is better than none. Ends on a painful cliffhanger

Great listen, my only issue is that the narrators don't stay with their character (Nina's chaper has only the female narrators voice for all the characters, etc). If you can get over that, its a great story. Very Peaky Bliders, maybe with a touch of Divine Rivals just for the war and battle parts.
