This was a really interesting book but just felt a little slow in parts. I loved the author's creativity in creating this world! Her descriptions of the magic used by the different characters was really entertaining, especially as her idea of magic so differs from what it usually portrayed. Rather than simple spells cast at random, magic in this book is actually quite draining so it requires more preparation.
I personally wouldn't call this a horror novel. It's certainly dark but it never reaches "scary". There was room for horror but it felt like the book couldn't hit those marks and so it just remained a suspenseful read but nothing more.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
