I got through this book extremely fast and it kept my attention really well throughout. I love the world but the characters generally fell a little flat to me. I plan to read the rest of the trilogy.

I guess I liked it enough to read it all in one sitting, staying up until midnight to finish, but it didn’t really speak to me. It has my favorite trope (special kid in school), and I don’t think it did a great job of it, which was disappointing. A light, easy read. The characters were cute but wasn’t really invested in any of them (although I did like Mal)

The cw for slavery is not like antebellum American slavery, but rather magical compelling.
