I love how the magic works in this world, and how it is used as a way to open the conversation about borders, immigrants, resource hoarding, and inequity. There is a lot to love here! Unfortunately, I don't think the ending is much of a resolution, and feels kind of...little, compared to the weighty subject matter.
