Rereading this coming into our nearly third year of COVID-19 pandemic, it hits a bit differently to know there is a pandemic in this book as well. The magic and world works quickly to solve the plague in order to not only save those who were afflicted, but Rosethorn as well. And what Briar wouldn’t do to save his beloved teacher?

Funny to read a book with a plague as the central plot nowadays. Had forgotten that's what this was centered on, was the start, progression and cure of a plague! Made me read it a bit more sharply to see the similarities with what we've had to deal with lately.
