LOVED THIS!! A simple story, but with compelling characters and an utterly fantastic setting. Definitely a  soft magic system, so if that's not to your taste I get it. BUT! If you love quests, mystery, great side characters, and one of the best female main characters I've read (in line with Katsa Graceling or Jude The Cruel Prince), please read this as soon as possible.
