Ebony Gate by Ken Bebelle, Julia Vee

Overall I’m giving it a 3⭐️. Loved the magic and the plot, however I have issues with the pacing in the second half. given the 2 day deadline, you would think the closer it gets to day 2 at midnight the faster it would get but no, it slowed so much it felt like many more days passed. Also have mixed feelings on Emiko- for the most part I liked her but when rains Fiona she becomes so judgemental about the fact that she is so feminine. Also her non magical side characters were very present in the first half and seemed to disappear until the last page. It seemed like set up for them to play a bigger role and then didn’t
