This book is so well thought out. For something so complex, this is so well written and surprisingly easy to follow.
The world building is fantastic. 
There are complex and thoroughly thought out characters including the female characters which we love to see. 
I would just like to point out that this first novel is relatively slower paced so that we have time to soak in the world, characters and plot. 
Overall fantastic first novel.

I loved the strong family dynamics a lot! I’m not sure if I’m that into mafia books so it’ll be awhile before I read the next one. The magic system is phenomenal.
