I’ve been putting off reading this series until closer to the time that the next (and what I thought was the last) book is released, but I finally caved and I’m glad that I did! I really liked the concept and world building and magic system. I was annoyed with all the “you really don’t know anything about this world, do you” followed by cruel acts to emphasize the point, though. Like, how are the twins supposed to learn anything if no one will tell them what they need to know?! Gah! I’m pretty excited to move forward and see what their Orders are and see how badass they become once they can properly wield their powers. The Heirs better watch out, is all I’m saying. Especially after that bullsh*t there at the end. They totes deserve whatever they have coming for them.
