I absolutely enjoyed myself while reading this book and I loved how strong the females are in this book. I mean, can you say badass?!
While the magic system is incredibly complex, I really enjoyed it and thought that the author did a fantastic job with creating this world and system. My favorite part were definitely the characters. specifically the side characters. I loved reading about Remy, Eliana's brother, the "wolf" and Corien. There is so much backstory to some of these characters especially for Corien that I'm hoping will be revealed in the sequels.
But the reason why I knocked off a star is because it was a bit confusing. It's hard to get into especially in the beginning and the whole 1000 year time difference that alternates every other chapter can be quite jarring. I still really enjoyed the book but I can also see why a lot of others didn't.
