DID NOT FINISH: 30%
I just could not get invested in this. Maybe it’s because I recently just finished a huge Cosmere read but this just didn’t click for me. Maybe I’ll come back to it one day

I wanted to love this so, so badly because the world and magic system are so creative and compelling, but the rest of the story just didn't do it for me. I found the characters interesting and the plot kept me reading, but I was never fully invested in anything. The emotional highs and lows felt a little forced to me, which made the characters feel like cardboard cutouts (albeit quite detailed ones).

Honestly, I do really want to know what happens next though, so I may get the second one from the library... Which means this is definitely an it's me, not the book situation.
