arkonrad's review against another edition

The characters are mean and arrogant. The characters have spent the first half of the book judging each other. I didn’t even feel the intensity of the fight they had because of all the judgmental internal dialogue.

I would not consider this a YA book. This is absolutely an adult book.

This was SO GOOD. It's quite a chunky book and so I took some points as it was quite leisurely pace wise at points, but overall gripped me very quickly. Another excellent example of how to do multiple perspectives well, I really enjoyed the characterisation throughout. 
The exploration of magic felt so unique and interesting, I was impressed by how the author was able to balance so many specific types without it all becoming a muddled mess. I like how all the characters are flawed, they felt realistic (though very dramatic, but that's allowed as this is a book and not real life). 
The twists were really good! Clues were artfully placed and the plot was very interesting, there were so many aspects that grew slowly in the background and then cropped up fully formed unexpectedly. I really loved the tone of the writing too, super easy to read and a satisfying and clever narration. Really good!!!! Finding a good uniqu  fantasy series can be so difficult, I'm excited to make my way through these.

The story and setting is interesting, the progression and build up left me wondering what the stakes were other than...people living their lives?

Which can be fine but might not be everyone's cup of tea.

This book was not for me, it is not my cup of tea. I did not find the characters enjoyable and the plot was not intriguing to me. It feels as if it was written purely for the aesthetic of dark academia and not anything else, all of the topics and ideas were very surface level. It feels like it was primarily written for shipping and fanfic-ing. I am not a fan of this authors writing style and likely will not read any other books by Blake. It was not an enjoyable read, but it was a pretty quick read.

Intriguing concept and characters, but a little anticlimactic - mostly just setting the stage for the next book in the series. Well paced, an engaging cast, and overall enjoyable.
