The magic system is complex, and I’m not sure even after reading the book that I really understand the distinctions among cantrips, spells, and grandmagic. The line between scriver and caster seems fluid, too. The setting is lovely, detailed and full of enchantment. The urgent challenges faced by the farmers like Grimm’s family stand in stark contrast to the artificiality of the Coterie & Fount.

The pace is very slow. Leo is tediously irresponsible and impulsive, Grimm is tediously stuffy and taciturn. A great many plot lines are unresolved at the end.
