My favourite thing about this book is the magic system. The way the magic manifests in people differently and the things that the characters can do with it is fascinating. Mancella’s magic, while acquired and grown through heinous means, is incredible.
The villain, Mancella’s father and another that I will not name, are well written. The villains get a satisfying comeuppance.
The dynamic between Mancella and Silver is fun and develops nicely. Their romance builds naturally and believably.
The book seemingly ends, but then we are treated to an epilogue that suggests much more. I am eager for the next instalment to see where that will be going.
The narrators provided an authentic portrayal of the characters.
Many thanks to MacMillan Audio and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the audiobook. The opinions expressed are honest and my own.
