I wanted to love this book, but in the end it was just all right. I felt the setting was amazing, and I did like the characters. There were parts where I was like “Yes!” then parts that moved soooo slow. The book felt too long, and I feel like with maybe a 100 pages less would have helped. Honestly, I wasn’t a big fan of the magic system here, and I generally find magic to be the best part. Also, it did have some unique qualities but also felt like stuff from other fantasy books I have read. I did love the author’s writing, though!
