I honestly have such random and scattered thoughts on this so…. Spoilers and chaotic answers ahead: 

 
- Reasons I don’t like it 
    - Too much magic
    - Love triangle?? What was the point? 
    - Danger to kids - them being killed at almost every turn
    - Too many gorey descriptions of death 
    - Killing everyone (and I do mean almost everyone of the good guys!) is not a plot device 
    - too many mentions of the main love interest being “unfairly attractive” ugh, please

- What I liked 
    - The explanations of Nym using her elemental powers, sense the killing and death 
    - The banter of an independent Nym
    - Interesting world 


Honestly, why even bother creating a cast of characters we learn about only to kill all of them anyway?? I feel betrayed by the author - you strung me along only to yank away every person I connected to in the story, save one. Boo you.
