2.5/5 stars rounded up to 3.

I'm not a christian, and I tend to avoid Christian based books because they're often very one-sided in their POV. This book felt like it might be that way in the beginning, but it thankfully got better! I liked the idea of how the powers worked and the bonding worked. As well as the effects of using their magic.

I also really liked the fact that there was some interesting disability rep going on! Both as a result of the magic use, but also in general.

The story was a little messy at times, and I didn't really get what was happening until a while into it. Part of that may have been the writing as well, or just my mental state, for it happened on more than one occasion that I had to stop and double check what was going on, because it completely lost me.

I'll be continuing on with the rest of the series, tho. At least for now.
