Just a warning there is some language that’s out dated and offensive. Honestly it’s an easy read but there are just some major flaws and that’s the reason I rated it so low.

A slow start, but once I got to grips with the world and magic system it was a fun ride. The incest was a little bit of putting but that's cassie for you.
