They fought because they loved the dance, and the weight of a sword in their hands. The clash and spark of metal and hiss of flame was like music written just for them. They fought foor glory, but not for blood.

It took me too long to get into this one. I'm a studious lover of rich histories and backstories but this one took far too long to start. It felt like the book was trying to do too many things at once. From a cute high school romance to deep fantasy lore to being a period piece.

BUT

I enjoyed it. I still enjoyed it! The second half of the book was good. So much so that I was willing to overlook the flaws in the first half and raise my rating by a half star.
