(Review Imported from Goodreads)
I wanted to give it 3 stars at first because i have found the writing quite blunt at times and the plot didn't ramp up as fast as i wanted it to. It felt like i couldn't quite get invested by the story by half of it. Nevertheless i still give it 4 stars because i really love the concept of the magic system, the setting it is in and the plot twist. I kind of had a feeling for the twist way before the reveal but I feel like it was intended to be thought of earlier on. I am not sure if i like that, but i also didn't mind it. I really liked the last few scenes. I'm not quite fond of the ending, but i do find it clever and fitting/realistic for the story.I also personally don't like when romance is the main plot line. I'd rather have no romance in stories like this or just a minimal role - like it is here. I'd rather give it 3.5/5. I'll see if that changes ones I gobbled up more books this year :D
