I’m intrigued by the magic system so going to read the next one, but that is despite the writing style not because of it. Typos, bad grammar, formatting errors and generally poor writing absolutely PLAGUE this book. A shame because it’s all very fixable. The insta-love is also very dull, and there is zero character development in this book - but I still have hope for the next one…
