I really love how creative the author got with this magic. I still don’t fully understand how it works but I was really invested in the political intrigue of the palace and getting to know the backstory for Ning’s parents. Cliffhanger has me ready for the next book.

Alsooooo I love a good glossary! This book has an elaborate one in the back so don’t miss it.
