A great start to the series. This book had me HOOKED from the start, full of mystery, humour and characters that pull on your heart strings whilst giving you anxiety. I LOVE that it has a map and hope to see the world building be more there in the next few books. That being said you get a full understanding of the fearmancer societal workings and hierarchy. My main criticism is lack of trigger warnings. There is a fair amount of Blood/Gore in this book and a heads up would have helped.

This is like Cruel Prince in a modern setting with a different magic system.
