3.5 stars: The summary makes it seem very Belladonna vibes. This book is actually a war novel, which is not bad, just not what I had expected at all. Definitely check TW/CW. The magic system sort of cheapens the loss when characters die since the MC can heal/revive people fairly easily. Felt like there was a lot of unneeded exposition.
