The magic system was fascinating and the story was interesting, but it felt like it was missing a lot of fleshing out and polishing.

Not what I thought it would be. Reads like a bad b-movie with a generic plot and characters. Very YA. Avoid if you’re not a fan of that genre / writing style.

This book really captured me from the beginning. I love the written word magic system; I think it would appeal to people who like the logic of Sanderson's magic.

Sanchia is great. I like Gregor but I wish he'd been around more,

though I hope future books deal with his stuff more

.

I like the thematic focus on what it means to treat people as objects, and how to resist that.

It was fine. The world and the characters aren't detailed, and I would have liked it better if they had been, but I didn't hate it. As it's the first in a trilogy, the resolution of various issues is postponed, but the reader is left in good shape for book 2. I will probably continue the series, but I'm not in a hurry.
