An excellent fantasy novel, I found it entertaining and engrossing and loved it.
The plot flows, the world building is excellent and I liked the cast of characters.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I received a copy of this book through the Early Reviewers program on LibraryThing; I am grateful to the publisher for the opportunity to read this.
This book is the second in a series, though was advertised that you could read it as a standalone. I did want more of the world, or a little more structure--it felt like there were greater things going on that were maybe not relevant to the story that was being told, or would be relevant later but did not get much attention. I think it also could have been a little longer--as it is, it's under 200 pages (according to my search,) and some of the pacing is pretty fast. I think a younger teen might enjoy this, though, and some of the stuff around the magic is interesting.
