The biggest weakness of this book in some ways is also it's biggest strength, and that is the lack of explanation. This book does not lead you by the hand, but instead expects you to pick things up as you go along. No info-dumping found bound within these pages! At the start I found this very off putting, as the magic systems are so intriguing you want to know everything about them straight away, making it a bit of a slog to start with. Plus the fact the chapters alternate between three different view points, investment came hard. But boy it is worth persevering! As the magic systems are slowly revealed to you, you get more and more invested, and it definitely didn't follow the path I was expecting, especially in one aspect, which I won't spoil here. It is very hard to believe this is a debut novel. I'm excited to proceed with the series in due time!
