Okay so the people saying hunger games but with magic we’re SO right and it was delightful! I read through this so fast, it was honestly such a page turner. 

The characters were interesting and complex, morally grey, just generally great! I loved them all a lot especially Alistair! The world building was great too and I really loved how the magic system worked in this one! 

The only reason I’m giving 4.5 and not 5* is because the pacing felt a little off at times? It took a while to get going and for the tournament to start but it was still so great! I’m excited for book 2!
