This had one of the coolest magic systems I’ve come across recently. I loved that it was coding based and how it worked. I really enjoyed Sciona as a main character. She’s exactly the type of lead I would expect in this type of book. A strong female who is trying to make a name for herself and prove her worth while also having to come to terms with her biases and facts that have been in front of her. The themes are complex and heavy hitting and made me think (even better my husband had just read this so we had a lot of good discussions).
It is not a romantic type book at all!! Just need to state because I do usually pick up romance based fantasy books. This one did not need a romantic plot at all. The characters were incredible. I loved getting Tiran’s POV too and seeing where he came from and how he and Sciona found ways to work together and ultimately begin the reconstruction of land.
A compelling read and I now want to go read other books by this author!
Overall audience notes:
- Fantasy
- Language: low
- Romance: kiss
- Violence: moderate – high
- Content Warnings: gore, sexual assault, suicide ideation
