Excellent

Fantastic worldbuilding, a unique magic system (to me at least), and political intrigue are all woven together for a fantastic fantasy adventure. I loved how the world felt like it could have been our own at some point, just with heaps of magic and obviously different religions dominating everything. The cultures are clearly inspired and influenced by real life countries, but not so much that they felt insulting. Overall fun read that leaves you wanting the next book, immediately.
