City of Storms by Kat Ross

5.0

I can't express how much I loved this book. I am terrified of the fact that it's a series as I have no clue how this one could be followed up at the same caliber. 

I won't lie, I was mighty confused for the first little bit of this book. I couldn't understand what was going on with the levels of ley or all of the levels of priests, or with all of the different locations, but I think the author did an amazing job at wearing it all together so it became so much clearer as the book went on. 

The magic system is fantastic. The levels of the ley, the marks (and the marked/unmarked) the void. The lucifers. I feel like this is one of those books I could gush about all day. 

This story goes through a great bug handful of different povs, some more prevalent than others, and some that just kind of pop up here and there for a little bit of insight. The chapters are a great length, and gave me the ability to get to know all of the characters (and love all of the characters, probably even those I'm not supposed to) without getting bored of anyone. 

All of the threads that are spun come together so beautifully. I couldn't put it down and stayed up way too late for 3 straight nights to get through it. 

Honorable mention to Malach and Spassov ♥︎

If you're willing to put in a little bit of effort into understanding this magic system, I can not recommend this book enough.
