I'm sorry to the many, many, many, many, many people who love this book with their whole heart and soul, but I don't get it. Honestly, the only reason why I made it so far into this book was that the audiobook narrator, Jim Dale, was incredible and I'm quite excited to get my hands on his Harry Potter audiobooks at some point.

This book just didn't do it for me. The world was beautiful, and the descriptions were absolute magic, but the characters and the plot were very meh. I was expecting a lot more from the premise of opposing magicians but it was incredibly lackluster and the characters involved weren't interesting enough to hold my attention. The narrative jumps through time and shifts perspective a lot and it was hard for me to keep track of characters and events when it wasn't about the main warring magicians plot.

I was excited for this, but I just don't get it and I'm probably going to sell my physical copy of the book.
