Cool magic system? Check.
Contemplations of love, loss and destiny? Check.
Gratuitous naked men? Check (and thank you Zara!)
Quick read if you like grimdark lite with a happy (enough) ending. Definitely checking out more Sarah Beth Durst.

Another case of 'not a perfect book but read it at the perfect time'. With this book (and Victoria Aveyard's Realm Breaker), I've realized I love reading fantasy about what happens AFTER. This book especially deals with what happens if the big bad is back and no one believes you. A great standalone fantasy.
