4.5 stars - This book was a straight cover buy and boy am I glad I picked it up. This is definitely a slow burn, political fantasy and I was easily 200 pages in before something really popped off. But I like that type of fantasy when I’m in the mood for it. While the magic system wasn’t a main part of the story, what is presented is interesting and every time it was mentioned I perked up immediately. Watching Davoci grow and realize things is rewarding and it kept me reading. I had never read from this author before but I think I will pick up more of his books. The ending left me wishing for a sequel and I will be so disappointed if there isn’t one. The way I am eager for the vengeance he is about to bring down on the people who betrayed his family. I’m really hoping for a sequel.
