A great read! The magic system was EXTREMELY interesting and was the primary reason I scored it so high because it was a complex magic system without being overwhelming or boring. I found the main character super interesting and loved her morally grey perspective and inner conflict, and Ravyn was perfection from the start 🤤 My only complaints would be that I guessed the main reveal with the Nightmare before it happened, and I love to be extra surprised but it happens somewhat rarely, and I could have used more spice! These are personal preferences though, the writing was strong and the entire plot was incredible and had me immediately diving into book 2!
