This is a great YA mystery novel with some unique world building. I really enjoyed the characters and learning more about the world and magic system. The mystery had me interested and the way the twists were revealed had me either only one step ahead or completely surprised. Some aspects were quite predictable but I think they were done well anyway. The teenagers are written like teenagers which is great for realism but had me rolling my eyes at them sometimes as an adult reading this. Overall a great book which I recommend reading.
