I really enjoyed this book! I loved the culture woven throughout it and the intricate magic system. I enjoyed all the different POVs and seeing the growth of each of the characters in their different ways. Some parts were so tense and I couldn't wait to find out what happened. I found the pacing very good and the world so interesting. I enjoyed that the fighting Zelie did didn't rely on her magic and used the staff. I am going straight onto the next book!
