The art is kinda confusing especially during fight sequences, but seeing the magic come to life makes up for it. The parallels between King Nokil and Prince Maxim in the past, and King Maxim and Kell in the future is very cool.
I don't know if this is a plot-hole or a gap in my memory but (light spoilers)

My only complaint was that I thought the art style was a little dark and muddled during the big fight scenes, so it sometimes was difficult to follow along with exactly what was happening, but I think that could easily be a "me" issue more than a problem with the book.
✨ Representation: the members of the Maresh family are Black; multiple BIPOC side characters; one on-page sapphic side character
