a weirdly interesting and concept. ari and janco own my heart. yelena is such a good protagonist, morally-grey, determined, and caring; i liked her a lot.  i’m excited to read the follow-up as the magic system is compelling and is going to be explored a lot more in that. 

though i would take heed to the content warnings as they are incredibly necessary as it isn’t a one-off occasion in the book. i would recommend this if you don’t mine a slow-burn romance as more of a side-plot to political intrigue and magic.
