4.0
Entertaining, steady pace, spice that doesn’t overpower the plot, interesting enough world-building and system of magic without being overwhelming. A bit twisty, with a good setup for book #2. All in all, enjoyable and easy to get through.
Graphic: Murder, Grief, and Violence
Moderate: Sexual content
Minor: Child death, Vomit, Injury/Injury detail, and Death of parent
