A fascinating introduction to a new, darkly intriguing magical world. El is one of the most interesting leads I've read in a while, and her prickly exterior combined with her strong will and dedication to her friends is so well-written. Novik's worldbuilding is captivating, if dense at moments, but overall excellently
done.
