I really enjoyed this book and read through it much faster than I thought I would. As everyone says definitely check the trigger warnings as there are some very heavy parts of this book, made even more so by the fact that they are based on real events. The characters definitley have me intrigued to read more and I liked the magic system as its not like anything I've read before. It's supposed to be slow paced but it never drags or anything. I'm looking forward to book 2.
