Really enjoyed this one as an audiobook- there are two narrators for the two different perspectives.
I enjoyed that magic in this world isn’t explained very much. The story is about the growth of the characters and an in depth description of mechanics of magic would have just taken away from that. The reason that the people in this book can do magic or how they do it is irrelevant. Really, even their ability to do it isn’t as important as their motivations and personalities.
The villain is not dangerous because they can do magic. They’re dangerous because they are ruthless.
I also love that the heroine is not overpowered. Being strong, doing what she needs to do, it’s difficult. She fails in many ways. It makes her real.
