4.0

I really enjoyed this book. I think I may have enjoyed it more than the first book, but that one got 5 stars based on the fact I hadn't read a more classic fantasy in a while. Very fun twists and turns, we finally get a somewhat human face to the high lord. Love the lore reveal of the old magician enemies

I enjoyed the fact we got gay representation, but unfortunate that all I wanted to do was get back to Sonea. Love me a chosen one/more powerful storyline. Also what the hell is up with lord Garren? Man is like a more sneaky Fergun.

But yes, so glad sonea finally has an easier run without bullying, despite now learning about more black magic related things 

Overall, very excited to finish this series and recommend to others
