Thank you to Netgalley for providing this free ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I am in awe, honestly. I was absolutely blown away by this book.
For a debut novel, it is so well-written, the story is incredibly unique, the pacing feels perfect and the characters are all well-developed and just wonderful.
In order to get 5 stars I think the book really needed to expand a bit on the script and the rune system as there were quite a lot of unanswered questions and you are left wondering a bit as to how it all works by the end. I also didn't really like Karis as a main character, she felt quite weak and her chapters didn't add a huge amount to the story. I would have loved for some chapters to be told from Zara's POV because she was far more fun and interesting. I also found some of the decisions that characters made to be a little bit strange and left me wondering why they did certain things.
Overall though a very solid book and one that I really enjoyed reading.
