Holy shit! This book was a RIDE. Super cool magic system and excellent narrative. VERY unsubtle with its themes, VERY on the nose, but thats not necessarily a bad thing if the author truly wanted to make a point. It was incredibly hard to put down I basically read this in two sittings. The end made me sad but also was the only possible compromise for the story to still remain somewhat believable. I definitely enjoyed this and am curious to see what else the author has written.
