The characters were really hard to like, which made it difficult to root for them. Loved Quinn though!!!

The info dumping could have been handled better, and the book’s magic system explained more.

There was too much action and I think it held the book back. The scenes where the characters are just having genuine dialogue with one another were the best parts of the book. There was little life elsewhere to be found.

Rune didn’t feel like a fully fleshed out character and neither did his companion Brand. They were very bland.

The rape scene felt out of nowhere and I’m not sure how I feel about how it was handled.
