I did not expect this book to be so gruesome. While the magic system was pretty thought out, there were times it used elementary science that didn't need so much explanation. It had a weird mix of YA and grimdark. Also the romance was just kinda thrown in, like the author felt the need for a live interest, but there was very little connection between the reo characters. I am tempted to continue, bur it's not at the top of my list. Also the rape threat was thrown around a lot, I get tired of that.
