This book has great vibes! If you are a vibes reader, this one should stay on your list. This book had a lot of great elements that I love, however, many of my frustrations with the book detracted from my enjoyment which lead to me not finishing it. DNF at 47%.
This story seems very character driven so I would have appreciated more time getting to know them all at the beginning before the stakes got high and the plot took off. Additionally, the plot, setting, and magic system felt very underdeveloped. I would have enjoyed more time understanding and experiencing it all rather than quickly moving on to the next point. I am a disappointed because this book is so hyped on Tiktok.
I am not opposed to picking up book two, but I would need to know before reading it that it is different from this one.
