Kind of a really tough book to get into. Characters that you want to like but aren’t developed enough. Probably won’t listen to the next book, if there is one.

Finished … but it wasn’t easy.

This dark and grim world was a blast to be a part of. I loved the gritty character driven story and the magic system was super fresh feeling and really interesting. I'm a big lore buff and I definitely got my fill and some with this book. Between the magic, the different creatures, and the world building, there's a ton of really interesting things going on to enjoy. I really enjoyed each POV as well. Sometimes multiple POVs can drag or kind of blend into each other making certain characters hard to distinguish between. I had no issues with that here.

The audiobook was done really well and I enjoyed Adriel's performance a ton! Looking forward to seeing where this series goes next.

Intense and compelling

Didn’t dislike anything really. Hoping for a bit more world building in the second book but that’s about it!

Great morally gray characters and unique magic system
