4 Stars = Brilliant

A dark story of assassin's and the underground world they come from. The magic system isn't simple, in fact I had to just go with the flow, and while the first 109 pages were cinematic and tight, after that it got a bit mushy and could have done with some editing.
Overall though a great story, and I'm excited to read the next one.
