I really liked this (and the audiobook was great too!). NOW, it is dark. Please check the content warnings for the magic system. While unique and something I haven’t read before, it’s on the heavier side.
I did love how much of a sunshine character Silver was. He balanced out the book and brought the little bit of optimism that the story needed to make things feel like they could keep going. The romance was a bit quick for me, it grew on me too though.
The complicated politics are intriguing and I am definitely invested in reading the next book. Betrayals and trauma and good twists kept me on my toes and the stakes felt high and intense.
Overall audience notes:
- YA Dark Fantasy
- Language: mild
- Romance: closed door
- Violence: high
- Content Warnings: animal sacrifice/cruelty (as a means to the magic system), mental and physical abuse
