Every time I think Brandon can't possibly come up with a new magic system that feels fully developed I am yet again proved wrong!!
There is quite a bit of tone shifting throughout this book, which sometimes made it difficult to actually sit with the hardship and character development. Especially when we go from Vivenna starving on the streets to Lightsong lounging and making jokes, it made me cringe and put the book down. Which, I guess, is what it was supposed to make me feel, but I couldn't tell if that was purposeful or just a happy accident.
The twists and plot hooks, however, are stellar as always! Cannot wait to read more about Vivenna and Vasher in the future 😍
