I absolutely loved this book, every single chapter. There was no lull in this for me or any point that I didn’t enjoy. I devoured it and cannot wait to read the second.
This books has a caste-like magic system, where each caste is linked to certain magics and witches who can harness it. The main character is part of the lowest caste, the Crows, tasked with managing victims of the Plague as they are immune. However, they are looked down upon by the entirety of society and she attempts to find a way to fix that with some unlikely allies.

✓ Wonderful magic system
✓ Enemies to lovers romance
