A case of the concept being better than the execution. A feminist retelling of Monte Cristo seemed so compelling, but I thought the magic system was underdeveloped and the entire second half of the book felt completely rushed. I wouldn’t have minded this book being a bit longer to have those elements more fleshed out.
