Super fun fantasy novel, big fan of the Italian inspired setting! I liked the characters a lot and I'm excited to see the magic system unfold here

I tried reading this last year and DNF it, but came back and liked it quite a bit. I don't like much gore so parts of this were a bit much for me, but otherwise it was a good storyline and the magic system is really interesting.
