It took me a second to find my footing with the magic system. It’s incredibly unique, which I love. There’s a small piece in the back that you can flip to if you don’t understand what power a certain metal provides.
Personally, I re-read the passages where the magic system was introduced to the audience. First through a main character & then again when other characters teach someone learning the magic system & its limitations. I only did this to be completely sure I grasped the magic system.
However, it is constantly added on to and expanded. The world building is top notch.
I loved all the characters. I hope we get more of Breeze in the next book. I think he’s hilarious.
At its core this is a found family book, with the ultimate heist- toppling a dictatorship.
The only drawback in my entire experience of this is that I figured out the MAIN issue/problem/finale unveiling as soon as the first foreshadowing about it was dropped. That was too easy to pick up. If you read this or read it, please lmk if it was easy for y’all too.
