Honestly, I feel like I shouldn't be giving this book 4 stars. Not a ton really happens in the book, its mostly just the characters talking and discussing various things. But for some reason, it worked for me. I genuinely enjoyed the 6 candidates and how different they were from each other, and the internal and external banter that arose from that. The way magic works was really fun to me, and I dunno, it was just a right time right place kind of book.

I don't know if I could wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone though, because I have a strong feeling this isn't gonna work for a lot of people. But if you like it when characters just talk for forever, you'll probably like it (lol)!
