3.0

I really wanted to like this book. It had great promise and an interesting world. However, the overall lore remained tragically underdeveloped and the pacing was so off... It took 100 pages for anything to get going or make any sense, and in the last 50 pages everything that could have possibly happened did and it was a bit of a mess.

I'm giving it 3 stars for the interesting premise and magic system, but I think the world is very underdeveloped and the story needed communicating better.
