Character development of the male counterpart? Nuanced discussions of societal change? A female character questioning her morals in a nuanced way? Female friendship developing organically? Not forgetting about side characters? Bsnter AND emotional discussions anf both are well written and come natural? This book truly has it all.
Slight spoiler criticism:
I wish the ending and unveiling the circle of mages, Garetts family and the mystery around the face villain would've been explored further. I assumed the archers journal would give a few more clues about the historical development instead of only being a (very well placed and used) mirror of Raes struggles. Despite that I still loved the book and all in all I am very, very happy with the ending and if the author decides to write more books that take place in this world I will be the first in line to read them.
