This book had an amazing premise but the execution lacked in my opinion. The concept of the world and magic system is truly unique and very interesting. However, the actual world building through the story was too complex and difficult to follow. It reads as if the author expects the reader to know everything about the world going in. It explains very little, just throws you right in the middle of the conflict and expects you to catch up. The whole society structure was intricate and there are many a term that never gets fully explain. 

That being said, the writing style in itself was smooth and the characters were easy to like, if a bit one dimensional. 

I give it 2 stars for the idea, but that’s about it.
