It is so hard to put into words how much I enjoyed this! It took me 10 days to read 🫣 but I had no time to read the past week, so that was not because of the book itself. The premise was really interesting, but the magic system, world building, character development, and themes throughout the book sold it for me. When I finished, I sat in silence for a couple of minutes to just reflect on the journey. I definitely need to check out The Sword of Kaigen this year!
