Gosh, I loved this book so much. The plot had me hooked from the beginning and I spent the whole time thinking I knew what was going on and then second guessing myself completely. I cannot wait for the second book to come out so I can learn more about this fascinating world. I also am genuinely unsure which ships I want to sail, which is unusual for me. But I can’t wait to see how it all ends up!

Fascinating story, unique magic system! Only predicted one of the twists, but most were a complete surprise!

All in all a really good fantasy book with some great world building!

This was a very whimsical dark academia read with beautiful prose. I think it could’ve been slightly shorter, but it really didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed this well thought out this story. It’s very slow paced with light world building and easy to follow magic systems. I’m very excited to see what happens next in book two.
