If I had to consider the various typos or editing it would probably be lower than 4, but being a self-produced work and not formally edited, it gets a pass.

In terms of content and general prose flow, it's a 4 in that it is exactly what I was promised and is an entertaining read. There are many interesting concepts and for the moment they seem well developed (the magic system of Names has a lot of potential both on a WB and metanarrative level), even if they have the potential to become... a little much.

So yeah, if you want to read an action-packed story with cool magic about a girl who wants to use the evil empire to make it better, well, that's exactly what you'll get and it's good.
