Ahoy there mateys! The crew really enjoys this start to the trilogy and I did too.  The problem is that I don't have any major thoughts about it.  I really enjoyed the magic system.  I thought the four POVs were likeable and rooted for them.  It was a quick read despite the longer page length.  It used standard tropes but wasn't boring.  Seems like low praise for a book I enjoyed.  I am told the next books in the series are better than the first.  I believe I shall continue the series. Arrrr!
