I enjoy most of the characters in the book, and I loved the octopus 🐙! Cameron’s pov didn’t much interest me and I found them to be boring at times. I did love his interactions with tova and his aunt.

“But you can’t kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that one thing you’ve never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope.”
This book was a fun journey. It was fast paced with lovable characters. The magic system was confusing at first, but I quickly understood after a few chapters. I can’t wait to read the next book.
