This was a fantastic introduction to this fantasy series. I am always looking for new fantasy books to read and I've definitely found a new favourite in this book. The characters are well written, the plot is compelling and the writing is good. The magic system is unique and interesting, however I felt that it was a little lacking in details. I also really liked the world and felt that the world building was good. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I cannot wait for the second book in this series. I definitely recommend checking this book out, especially if you are a big fantasy reader.

Thank you NetGalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I feel very conflicted about this book, hence the 3 star rating. I took me such a long time to understand what was going on and understand which each of the characters were. I think I was at about 25% of the book when everything started to make sense to me.
I really enjoyed reading the parts of some characters, but the others felt slow and a bit boring.

On a better note, I just loved how each story is intricately linked and how the characters meet and interact with each other.
The ending was much more interesting to me than the rest of the book so I will really consider reading the sequel.

(side note, as a French native, I was so annoyed about the massive grammatical French mistakes at the end. If you want to write dialogues in French, lease make sure you get this right)
