I really liked this book. It has all the feeling of a traditional fantasy, but in a landscape wand with characters that felt interesting and fresh - not the typical European medieval-style fantasy that I grew up reading.

I really loved the ibor, and how its use extracted a steep price; and how, like any resource, indiscriminate use will use it up. That’s a great way to include the working of magic into a world.

Good book. Happy to have it on my shelves.
