This book came out very strong in the first few chapters with high action and emotions. I had some questions because we are somewhat dropped into the plot without much context, but it serves the world building as the story goes. The magic system and how Lia inherits her crown is really unique and fascinating. The Voiding and different types of beings in this was also really interesting. I think there is a ton of potential to build upon as the series continues. On the nit-picky side: I feel certain aspects could have been more developed through this book. On twist in particular felt like there was an attempt to build up to the reveal, but it wasn’t as mind blowing as I would have hoped. That aside, this was a quick paced and easy read. I enjoyed all the characters, and I’m pretty sure I love Tadgh. The final few chapters had me on the edge of my seat, and would be enough on its own to make this an easy 4 star rating. I will most definitely be reading the next book!
