The Obsidian Tower

8/10

Very good book, great characters with a great story and a lot of level 2 and level 3 with a bounteous hand of Level 1. so pretty much everything you could want in a book. set up for more books in the series to come, but has a payoff at the end this book, so if you don't want to continue you don't have to.

Impressive Worldbuilding and an impressive Magic system. Characters felt real and whole very few if any felt 2 dimensional.

I loved Ryxanders magical ability and the steps she went through to protect others and herself.I thought it fitting that Ryxanders ability to love her grandma no matter what, was what "saved" the day. Looking forward to dealing with demons and perhaps Ryx being able to focus her power and use it better. (no Judgement)Things i predicted.Fall for Severin or KessaDoor openedknew it wasn't just a portal but a bandaidKnew her power could affect demonsThings i didn't predictGrandmother being possessed but combined.Aurelio being a Zealot trying to kill her. Portal to hellWhisper was a demon. (predicted not chimera) what demon is he?
