I jumped into this series with this book, so I really was unfamiliar with how the worlds worked and it made it a little less fun for me, I think. But, it was a really good read regardless. The characters were pretty cool, so was their magic. The plot was interesting, well-written, and moved forward. It ends on a cliffhanger so I feel like I randomly got a chunk of an adventure.
Graphic: Death, Gore, Violence, Blood, Grief, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Confinement, Cursing, Forced institutionalization, and Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Pregnancy, War, and Classism
Mild language, the most being a dashed out f-word, quite a bit of violence. 13+, depending on the person.
