For me it was pretty much what it says on the tin. There’s nothing much new here if you’re familiar with the genre but it’s perfectly serviceable if you’re into the get good to get revenge arc. I wasn’t particularly invested in the character development from people or the action, personally. But I think it pulls off what it sets out to do.

I ❤️ the sword brothers of Scale Jayyed.

I enjoyed this book so much once we got to Fight School.

It had a decent start and end. However, the middle half of the book was essentially a giant training montage, albeit a well-written one, and thus a bit simplistic. I also didn't find most of the characters particularly interesting.
