I quite liked this! There’s an awful lot of loose ends here which is a bit frustrating, but seeing as there’s so many more books in the series it makes sense. I like the protagonist a lot and the supporting characters are equally lovable, but they really got me with the puppy. I do wish there was either more backstory or more something to give us a real look at “the assassin” - we are told over and over again that she’s the best in the world but, like, SHOW me. Hopefully we get more of that in the coming books

i actually enjoyed this so much more than i expected, i really liked the characters and this world has a lot to mystery especially surrounding the magic so i can’t wait to read more of that!

a complaint i have has to be that the writing felt very 2012, especially because of the damn exclamation points, but it wasn't unbearable and i know it’ll get better.
