This was amazing!!! Very torn between 4.25 and 4.5, but I think I’m going to give it 4.5.

This was a gift from my parents for Christmas, and I’m very glad I impulsively bought myself the sequel already. I’ve already recommended it to like, three other people I know. 

Rachel Gillig has an absolute gift for creating a vivid scene with her writing. Each description of a scent or feeling felt as though I was there myself. The world building was rich but not heavy handed, and the magic system was one of the most imaginative I’ve ever read. 

Absolutely cannot wait to read more by her, and this was just her debut?!
