4.0

I struggled a little bit with the way she went about worldbuilding and, I think as a result, with connecting to the characters, but I really liked the magic system. It was a very intriguing concept, plus, the title really piqued my interest and only made me think more about it as I was reading. I think I'll enjoy this more on the reread when I don't feel so stuck in the worldbuilding.
