dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book was a lot darker than I expected it to be. I don’t think it’s a bad thing - I was just expecting there to be a solution to the price of magic and … in the end Magic has a price. I actually really liked how Magic was portrayed in this book - even if I think there could have been a bit more back story / Cordi was portrayed a bit too gullible to be realistic for me. 

This book was about friendship, but also the price of success and what is it that you truly want and desire.
