I would say this book is really fantastic! This has to be one of my favorite novels of 2021 and or maybe of all time. Some of the flaws that i would say about this is, that it's not a cliché. There is plenty of plot twists, and very dark moments in this book. Including one scene in the end (I had to take a break from the book cause it was really triggering for me). But overall, very interesting and impressive for a new author.

everything i wrote was deleted. i spent 15 minutes on this review. the short and skinny since i won’t be rewriting it: the characters are waffle-y

looking at you, inan and you zeili

i also just realized i’ve done ever spoiler up until this point wrong. the romances should have been gay 

looking at YOU zeili and amari bc the straight romances have. no. chemistry. at. all.

and lastly i was confused on a plot point which could have been my fault

the raid was only like ten years ago and that’s when magic went away when king whoever interrupted a ritual but this ritual only occurs every hundred years and it’s coming up agajn after only ten… maybe i misread though

anyways good book but should have been gayer
