3.5

I must admit that I was a little apprehensive at first. There are some scenes that go on for too long and I was afraid I was trying to figure things out to end up with no answers. Fortunately, the last 50 pages explain everything and put a different spin on my perception of the book until that point.
I really like the writing and the idea behind the magic. The characters are good and the story is fascinating after the reveals. I didn't love the ending because there is a certain character that I think could have been developed more before that scene, but overall it is a really good book.
