A bit too much about rituals and formulas and very little plot.

I didn't like the writing style nor the plot. The kind of book where my brain wanders away in the middle of paragraphs. At least it was short!

I actually really liked this and couldn't put it down. Very fast read. The research into magic was great and well-deployed. I feel the ending was a little thin, although I'm off to read the sequel next. Oh also it's incredibly fucking sexist.
