This was a very short and arbitrary book. Infact it was so short that it suffered extremely from not having any natural progression of events. 

Every went like this
Apprentice protagonist meets kind and sweet teacher → crazy lady barges in and steals his heart →protagonist learns about his whole life while getting the heart back and confesses→ fight, gets heart back→ done


To me it read like an outline with sparse details. Things were happening because the author said so, not because it was a natural progression of the story. 

I couldn't immerse myself in it despite the interest in the magic system. 

Final Rating: 1 Star
