The Brilliant Death by A.R. Capetta

2.5

This started out a five star read, but then lost me around the 25% mark. As soon as the actual adventure started, there was so much info dumping, talking, making stupid choices, being obsessed other people's bodies (I was not expecting this and do no like this kind of 'romance'), that it lost stars. There was also a character death that i did not think was handled well - why wasn't anybody sad? In shock? It made me not care about that person, they became just a plot device 

I did appreciate how this story handled gender fluidity in a fantastical way. I did appreciate that the magic itself was a character. I think the idea of the brilliant death was interesting.
