Really interesting fantasy series -- looking forward to the next book! Loved the worldbuilding and the use of different POVs.

The Good:
- fun magic system
- really excellent use of POV
- compelling narrative

The Bad:
- some language felt stilted - believe it was purposeful, but it's not my jam

dark emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I know I’m like 8 years too late but if anyone hasn’t read this yet, pick it up immediately. The writing is amazing. I’m obsessed with the world building.
