adventurous emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.5

The story itself is pretty straightforward, wasn't too surprised by the twist reveals, personally, but I liked the characters and the magic system and the writing style itself, so it was a nice relaxing read.  I don't think this book or series will become a lasting favorite of mine, but I enjoyed reading it, and I've got the next book on hold already.
