I was going to give this 4*'s but I don't know I think me taking a break from reading it kind of dulled my love for it? (my bad there!!) I did really like the book though it was really interesting, I'm not usually a fan of the political intrigue, sitting around enemies kinda stories but I did like this one! It really felt like things were progressing and enough was happening to keep me engaged and interested in what was going on. I liked the main character a lot and the world building was nice, also the magic system was really cool. At one point I was sure I was gonna give this 4 even 5 stars but then I had to take a break because life got in the way so I forgot some of the things in between then and finishing the book tonight, if I had read it in one go I think I would have rated it higher.

I will say though I will eventually pick up the next one and probably the final one in the trilogy as I am pretty curious how it'll all play out especially with the end of the book's developments
