Colossally weird book. I genuinely don't understand why I enjoyed it so much when it did so many things that bother me as a reader. Perhaps it's the shameless way that it was done and the the overall radically different content of the book helped it out, or maybe it was just my headspace. Empirically I should have felt like this was b-rated sci-fi and instead I really enjoyed it. Cool book, def recommend giving it a shot.

It was a fun read. The magic system is different than usual and I like characters that have a good amount of depth. It feels like a lot to have 2 characters with tragic backstories but it works for the book and that's how life goes sometimes. It's good to see the relationship develop in a way that feels natural for two broken people and to be left with that sense of unknown throughout.
I tore through these books. Sarah Lin has quickly become one of my new favorite authors.
From the early feel of the first book I wasn't sure that I would stick with it but I trusted the Author and came along for the ride and it was such a good intro. The magic system is pretty unique in how flexible it is but also how it still manages to provide distinctions in strength.
The MC starts off abrasive and kinda unlikable, paired with 2 companions that are drastically different from him as well as each other. It's a first book, no character is in their final form. Characters are still trying to be who they think they are before trials and challenges mold and temper them into finding themselves.
There will be many answers that you get, and quite a few things you won't get answered. None of the answers you're missing prevent you from following and enjoying the story unless you choose to let them.
This is a long running series (nearly 8 books right now 11/2023). If you find yourself wanting the MC or entourage to grow, questions to be answered, scenery to change, magic systems to be further defined..... keep reading.
I am hooked on this series and very excited for more books to be added.
