Inkmistress by Audrey Coulthurst
4.0

Actual Rating 4.75

I loved so many aspects of this book! I love how it is a sort of origin story for the magic system and world found in "Of Fire and Stars". I also loved how this story had a dark and political tone while still retaining the swoon-worthy romance that I now am calling an Audrey Coulthurst staple. Another thing I truly enjoyed about this book was how fundamentally flawed all of the characters, especially Asra, were. It is so refreshing to have characters that back-stab each other out of pure self-interest yet somehow still maintain their humanity and were still enjoyable and lovable to me. The only reason this isn't five stars is because the beginning of this book felt extremely rushed to me, almost as if the author wanted to get to the politics and back-stabbing. And even though I adored the ending and middle of this book the start was a bit jarring because it was so rushed. That aside I highly recommend this book and I will be eagerly anticipating the next book in this companion series.
