In the Shadow of Lightning by Brian McClellan

5.0

This was a really great read! A very interesting glass-based magic system with powerful rival family dynamics, conspiracies, epic battles, and interesting characters. Really enjoyed Demir – a brilliant but disgraced tactician and heir of a powerful family trying to avenge his murdered mother – and his perspective, although Thessa and Kizzie were really fun as well. Not a fan of how the romance unfolded (felt a bit forced), but otherwise it was an enjoyable time.
