This one actually surprised me! I thought it was going to be darker than it was. There are darker elements, but it wasn't nearly as bloody or graphic as the cover makes it seem. The magic system was actually really interesting; I like how it sort of tied to science and anatomy.
The characters were also really well done. Nhika is such a complicated main character, as are the Congmis and Kochin. Just when you think you might have the plot figured out, Le throws a wrench into things. It hooked me until the end, and I can't wait to read the next one!
