I wanted to really love this, but I didn't. I liked a lot of elements. The magic system is metal as hell, and I love it. Rory is a wonderful charismatic bi slut; Gaela is a wildly brave, intimidating aroace; Regan is a tragic beauty; Ban,,, sure is a character; and poor Elia with socially brilliant Aefa. But something about the story or writing style just didn't vibe with me. I can see other people loving it, but I just didn't.
Maybe I would like it more if I had actually read King Lear?? I'm not sure.
