I had a tough time finding the cast of characters compelling. Their goals are very clear but their motivations felt underdeveloped. After getting over halfway thru, it was hard to keep going without much pay off from the magic system or world building

3.5 ⭐️

It was interesting enough to keep me going, but fairly slow. I have higher hopes for the second, hoping this was more world/plot building and that we will have more excitement in book 2 because I do enjoy the plot of this series.

idk why, but i was convinced this was a sapphic romantasy so when it turned out it wasn't.. i was done. i searched and found out there's great lgbtqia+ rep, but i just can't with m/f romance. and the first kiss was proof of that, there was no consent. men piss me off too much.
i stopped after that, but up until that point it was also a lot of telling instead of showing.
