ARC provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I want to start by saying this wasn't exactly a bad book, but it just wasn't something I could enjoy. The author is clearly talented and I know she will have her audience, but that audience is, unfortunately, not me. In the moments where I wasn't extremely bored, I was confused. Confused by the magic system, the world, and the amount of characters. I kept hoping that something would shift and I would care about even one character, but I'm afraid the only emotion I would have felt had everyone suddenly dropped dead would have been relief. The book switched POVs so often that I found it hard to get attached to any of the characters, or their personal conflicts.

It was an interesting concept with an interesting world, the execution just fell flat for me.
