Read if:
- You're curious about Brandy Sandy's work and want to FEEL SOMETHING again
First of all, do not even attempt to read the last maybe 200 pages of this in public. I made the mistake of finishing this at the library and while I'm not afraid to cry in public, I didn't mean to disturb the other patrons over my parasocial relationship with fictional characters.
I have to acknowledge that this is a longer book (~600 pages depending on your copy) but by no means did this feel too long. I thought the worldbuilding was wonderfully paced, and the lore-heavy/info dumping sections weren't too dense and made sense in the MC's journey. There were so many times I wanted to SCREAM at some of these characters, but I never expected to have such a strong reaction to each character's development. I finished this over a week ago (from writing this review) and my heart still aches for these characters.
This book will likely go down as one of my all-time favorites and I can already see it being a future comfort read. The world is unique, the magic system is perfectly logical and mysterious, and I can't wait to see how the cast of characters grow and develop over the next 2 books.
