jes7037's review against another edition

I got about halfway through, but for some reason it just wasn't working for me. It's written well and there were definitely parts I liked, but nothing really grabbed my attention. The magic system was kinda interesting, but everything else... Just meh overall.

This was an enjoyable book. Not sure why it was chosen for the romance book club but hte subplot of the romance is quite compelling. I liked the world building and characterization. Overall a stong book but I kept comparing it to her later work which I like much better unfortunately.
