The first book of this series is just the best (though I'll grant that Bitterblue is a close runner-up - have not read the fourth book that was recently released yet). The main character is fleshed out well, if a little counter-culture defined by genre expectations of the time, and even the side characters beyond the love interest are equally well developed. I also found the magical system, Grace, interesting.
