This is the first book in the Burningblade and Silvereye trilogy and it was a ton of fun. The world building was unique and almost had a steam punk vibe to me. I really enjoyed the characters and the dual pov. The author did some things with these characters that I wasn’t expecting and don’t fully understand yet but I trust my questions will get answered in the next two books.

I knocked this down a star only because some of the moments with the ff relationship were written in a way that made me giggle at it rather than be serious. It was just obviously written by a male. I think this was made tolerable by the fact that everything was fade to black.

I love the sibling dynamic in this and can’t wait to see how the next book goes.

Great fantasy novel that didn't quite go where I'd expected. The magic system and lore are incredibly dense, and somewhat unique.

I can't wait to go through the remaining books.
