The magic system was so unique and interesting. It was described so vividly, I felt like I could actually see it. I enjoyed seeing the way the persuasion gave characters a power and they had to really grapple with the consequences of it all. I enjoyed the school and the relationships and friendships. I wish that some parts were a bit more fleshed out a bit more, like the aberrations and Dante’s background/past.
