This is a heavy book. It is also brilliant. The first person present tense voice is immediate and vivid. Evike’s relationship with Gaspar is one of the best enemies to lovers romance arcs I’ve ever read. The multiculturalism and the cost of the magic was handled deftly. I loved the constant weaving of folktales throughout.
