At the start some of the words through me off, as it was a very difficult book to read. But as you continue the books begins to make more sense and things connect, and slowly it all comes together and by the end of the book I can say I am thoroughly glad that I brought the 2nd before I had finished this one.

At times this book was very  'fantasy' and bogged down by all the world building it had to do. However, the characters were lovable and concept was intriguing enough to make this book pretty enjoyable for me.

This book was a bit mixed for me. I enjoyed a few aspects the world building, and really appreciate how much thought and work went into creating this world, but I didn't really connect with the story very fast. The characters were okay, but I couldn't really invest in them that much, I had trouble getting into their heads and seeing things from their perspective. I had a lot of trouble keeping the minor characters apart, and I fear that by the time I would get around to reading a sequel I'll have forgotten most of this book.

It was also a little confusing at times, especially when it came to power dynamics. I sometimes didn't really get why they were allowed to get away with something they really shouldn't have been, especially as an oppressed group within the story.

The ending was pretty good and very promising, but I don't know if I'm invested enough to see what happens next. I put the sequel on my maybe list for now, and will see if I end up picking it up sometime.

uneventful plot, unlikeable characters and bland writing style.

This books has dragons in it. That is all! Seriously I loved the characters in this book. It’s one of the things that had me really interested. Also the whole premise of Witchsign and the magic system was quite interesting.
