I love a magic system that makes some sense and has physical rules, which this definitely does. The characters and relationships are complex, the descriptions are vivid, and it mostly makes sense. My only complaint is that around halfway through there was a stretch where it was both anxious and tedious - I knew what was going to come next and it was stressful but also I just wanted it to get over it. I'd have been happier if that had been a little tighter and snappier through there.
