I loved this book so much. The setting felt really unique but completely authentic, the magic system was handled really well, and of course the characters were fantastic. It's like YA but good (sorry YA fans) and written by someone who clearly knows exactly what they're doing.

UPDATE 5/6/23: Reread in the space of like two days because I finally caved and bought the sequel. God this book is good.
