It was a pretty good book, but it has much of its beauty to owe to the very interesting magic system and world building, and less to any engaging plot. It’s still good, but the story devices are quite obvious and I found myself caring more about finding out more about the background information and history than the main plot. I couldn’t connect as much to the main antagonist and her crew, but the other main characters were quite nicely designed.
