Not a bad read! Pretty basic YA fantasy, but that’s not bad if that genre is your jam. I liked the magic entities and magic users scattered throughout the world, and the flow of action kept things interesting. I’m also always glad to see BIPOC main characters and strong female characters. Didn’t like how significant things quickly lost significance for one or another reason. Content warnings for misogyny, abuse, torture, & others.
