It takes some time to get into the groove of the world and the magic system, but the payoff is monumental. A brilliant, lovable cast of characters, excellent dialogue and banter.
The last 150 pages were INSANE, I was gripping the boom for dear life, I cried, I yelled, just WOW!
This book was also surprisingly philosophical, moments that explored mental health, faith and hope so effectively.
It works well as a standalone so I'm curious to see how the trilogy progresses.
