3.5

The action in this book was exciting, and the plot twists were intriguing, but the magic system - while interesting - was a little video gamey. The book also lacked a lot of emotional depth and reflection.
The love triangle was resolved in a reasonable way
by polyamory
and the relationships were mature, but the main character
went a little crazy and power hungry at the end, particularly with the torture which I did not enjoy.
