a dense and immersive fantasy that hooked me in from the beginning, even if there were points along the way where i got confused. vis is a compelling main character and his supporting cast of characters (especially ulciscor, relucia, callidus, and aequa) are interesting and well-developed. the ending was both intriguing and confusing, and i can't wait to see where this story goes next. also

i think aequa and vis have a more interesting and intriguing relationship than him and emissa and hopefully we'll get to see that relationship being develped further in the next book. #watchthisspace
