I like the premise of this story, but the execution is very slow. Mariela seems like a smart young woman, but at times she comes across as too young and naïve. Too many pages are devoted to spells and not enough to characterization. Still debating if I want to continue with the 2nd installment.

Overall very boring and contains a very concerning level of ambivalence when talking about the slave trade present in this world. The relationship developing between the main character and Sieg is just very strange. Plus, there's just a bunch of unimaginative side characters. Definitely a pass from me.
