Grace Draven is one of my favorite authors, but this book was my least favorite of hers. It was slow and repetitive, with the magic system unexplained for a lot of the book. I forced myself to read it and even skipped chapters. The writing was not as beautiful as her other books, although it was descriptive and gave visual of a dark world seeped in magic. The characters were strong, endearing, and you were hoping for success throughout the story (much like her other books) but I found the plot to take too long to develop and didn’t understand what was actually the challenge until more than halfway through.
