- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
Good political intrigue with complex magic system and a variety of well written, complex characters.
Graphic: Ableism, Genocide, Violence, Xenophobia, Blood, Murder, and War
Moderate: Racism, Slavery, and Torture
The magic users are subjugated through a pact that limits their abilities due to the transgressions of the magic users before them. They are treated horribly for having magic abilities and it is a big part of the plot
