Re-reading this book, because I bought the second volume.

Madly confusing at the beginning and it felt quite slow because you don’t understand everything. With a second reading it made so much more sense and you see all the hints - although one read is enough to understand everything. 

There’s a lot of details and if you enjoy a well-developed character, this is for you. If you enjoy a thriller, crime book, this is also for you. If you enjoy a darker magic system where not everything is pink and cute, this is also for you.
