I'm much more interested in the MMC. I find that the big reveals here are somewhat obvious early on
What I didn't like are the secrets upon secrets, and the complaints about them... again, reminded me of Aelin, and I'm not a huge fan. I feel like the MFC feels really young and somewhat immature against the MMC. I do appreciate the treatment of trauma here, though.
And finally, the world-building is really good here, loads going on, but revealed - for the most part - in a way that makes you want to learn more. The only complaint here is the use of "better not call her" without any hint who she might be. I find that annoying.
All that said, heed the CNs, this gets dark. But it's good, and I'm already reading the next book!

I love the world and the magic, and even though the characters were being dumb sometimes I loved them too. We can't all be intelligent and seeing all the pieces coming together (and let's be real sometimes we're here for the overdramatics).
Interested to see where this goes next and will definitely be reading the next one.
