I was sold on this book from the very first line of the prologue that mentioned a library at an academy for mages--nothing makes me more excited to read a book than that. I really like the narrative style in the first chapter as well, I feel like I'm really being told a story. When I first saw this book, the cover is also what definitely initially drew me in--the vibrant colors and unique style is fantastic! I'm already really hooked with the plot line so far and cannot wait to continue!
