i picked this up on a whim and i have no regrets. 
firstly, the magic system was really unique and interesting and the lore involved so lovely to read about. 
however, i feel like this novel didn’t reach its full potential quite yet. i liked the characters, but for some reason i wasn’t really that invested (could also still be leftover pieces of my reading slump). i felt more for them towards the end when things ~happened~, but i wish we could’ve seen more of the protagonists interactions and see why they actually like each other. 
nevertheless, it was very enjoyable and thrilling, especially the second half. i will probably pick up the second book sometime to see where it goes and would still recommend it if it sounds like something you’d enjoy!
