This book is awful but addictive. None of the characters are likeable but it’s like a trainwreck you have to finish the series.

It felt like the story really only started in the last 10 pages, but it definitely made me want to continue the series. The complexities of this society of magic users and their connections to each other was interesting to read and I'm left definitely wanting more.

It was somehow exactly what I thought it would be and at the same time, it wasn’t. I enjoyed myself though!

I have a love-hate relationship with this book. Hate: bad, lazy writing, poorly developed characters, poorly developed plot. Love: couldn’t put it down, funny moments, predictable but satisfying ending.

I finished this book and still don’t fully understand why we care about the protagonist or anything about the world she lives in, what bonds even mean for society, who her enemies are and why we care about them. World building not there but lots of cursing and stream of consciousness in the present tense. I was annoyed mostly reading this.
