Took awhile to warm up to the characters but once I did I was hooked. The relationships and struggles of the family were intrigueing and the drama was great. Some seeds for future conflict were planted and I look forward to seeing those bloom.
The magic system has also recieved a lot of praise and upon reading it I'll say that I like it but not as much as others seem to. Mostly because it's not as exciting or diverse as other systems. It's mostly just stat buffing. I'm hoping the future books find a way to make it more exciting.
