The concept for this book was really great, but I did feel like it was lacking sometimes. The first half of the book felt rather uneventful, and the action didn't start until I was 50% through. However, it did pick up a lot after that point, so I continued reading with excitement. I would have loved to see a bit more worldbuilding (and a map? I love maps honestly). I did very much enjoy the magic system and loved reading about the different ways of doing magic.
Character-wise, I didn't like any of the characters at first, though Arnaka started to grow on me as the book continued. I did pretty much like Nara right from the start, and Juscar and Tamlin (who had to grow on me as well) were also great characters..
As for the romance, it wasn't too much out there, which I really liked. It was (for me at least) quite obvious what was going to happen right from the moment the two characters met, but like I said it was not too heavy as usually happens whenever the love interests meet and I am very grateful for that!
All in all, this book was a true rollercoaster ride and I enjoyed it very much.
