Overall a fantastic read, and I’m looking forward to reading the sequel. There were times that the pacing felt strange, and some of the action sequences were confusing to read. I am also not entirely sold on the romance subplot, but I’m open to seeing how it shapes up by the series’ end.

The first 200 pages were very slow and the characters could've been more vibrant, but I did like the later half and also Touraine's arc. 
Also I the entire time I was reading kept thinking about how this and the Locked Tomb Series has a lot of similarities but that was a lot more compelling to me than this.

salemander's review against another edition

4.0

this was a very interesting and pretty poignant fantasy, but it felt lacking in some places. the characters motivations got kind of confusing at times, leaving you wondering how many fucking lessons they had to learn before the understanding their actions were harmful would actually sink in. and while i do appreciate how complex the main characters were it felt redundant at times and the romance between them was not very believable. i still think this book was a great read but i don’t think it lives up to its full potential. i would be very interested to see how these characters develop in the continuing books, but i am rooting for the downfall of their romance lol

This was one of the best fantasy novels I have read in a long time! This needs more hype. I was absolutely gripped from square one the characters are so well written and realised. 
It is very magic light so if what you want from your fantasy is big sprawling magic systems this won't give you that. Though I think there will be a lot more explorations of the magic in book 2. 
However, if you find yourself annoyed when complicated issues are resolved too easily, if you're tired of the same stories being told over and over, if you like messy characters and complicated relationships and you want to read one if not the best revolution story of all time then please please read this book.
