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.

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.

This was a nice read! The first chapter/ prologue really draws you in but then it kind of slows and gets a bit highschool/teen drama (but in a new adult/college setting) which didn't quite vibe well for me. It gets really good in the last quarter of the book which ends with an amazing set up for the next book in the series.
