I am absolutely loving how this story is unfolding, and I’m so excited to see how the rest of the trilogy goes.

I love when a book has a plot that just keeps coming and keeps the reader enthralled, and that’s definitely how this book was written. the use of different POV for that intimate look into a characters choices was wonderful, and the magical system being unique but easy to understand was an aspect I really enjoyed. Even when it was yucky.

Since the plot was very maintained in the one location for the most part, I think the world building felt like it was missing a little *oomf* to see exactly how detailed this world is, but I’m hoping the new adventure of book two will broaden the world.

I really liked this book, and would love to read the sequels and other books like it. I did find it to be a bit slow to draw me in, even though a lot of the action was ongoing for much of the book. It felt almost wrong, given the events of the book to mark it as slow-paced, but it took me a long time to get a handle on the plot. Despite that, I really loved and enjoyed the story, and the characters, and am happy I read it!
