This book was just meh, middle-of-the-road young adult fantasy. The magic system was based on eye color but wasn’t explained well, and the main character was out of it for half of the book due to substance abuse. Because of that, I thought the side characters were much more interesting than her. This book is also the first in a duology, but would have been fine to stand on its own. Not sure why a second book is needed, and maybe it should have been a companion novel about Valoria instead.
