I really enjoyed this book! It really had a Peaky blinders feel to it and the mix with the magic system was so interesting. I loved Nico and the dynamic of him and Milla. The plot moved quickly and I was gripped as new events and information was revealed. I really liked how the magic was incorporated with the different factions. I did guess a couple of the twists but some of them did take me by surprise. I can't wait to read what happens next!
