Wow, I loved this book! The worse things got for the characters, the more it pulled me in. I'll be looking for other books to read from this author. Very interesting magic system and I feel like I got the entire story in one book. I love single stories that are so well written to toss in between reading series.
Warning for others though, if you're sensitive to classism, sexism, or racism this book might not be right for you.
P.S. I listened to the audiobook version, and the narrator was phenomenal!

I didn’t realize how meaningful this book would be when I picked it up. There are some really big, deep themes here, woven into a fantasy world, that we all could benefit from reading.

A few plot holes and details that I still have questions on,

like Stravos' motivation, or more details about the witches and their sources of magic
