unfortunately this didn't quite hit the mark for me but i still highly enjoyed it. i felt like the character development was solid but it needed to be more fleshed out, it felt like characters had changes of their heart on a whim and without much reasoning that left me feeling confused.
one of my least favorite tropes in books especially with young characters like rune and gideon who are supposed to be 18 and 20 respectively got married at the end. like yall are children why are you married?? just a pet peeve of mine for stories, i'm sick of that.
the plot was fun and even though i did guess every single plot "twist" i still enjoyed reading it all to see how things unfolded. it's a quick and fun read, the world is interesting and i liked the dynamics there. i wanted a little more depth to how the magic system worked but it's definitely a soft system with no real explanation, you just know it exists and works in a specific way and that's that.
