The magic system was a bit overwhelming to follow for me at first. I really enjoyed the colored themes for each of the cards.
Elspeth’s journey in this book is brutal. Watching how all the characters are affected by the use of magic was a really interesting perspective.
I need to finish processing this story and start book 2 soon.

Didn’t love some of the rhyming poems and some of the dialogue felt a bit too modern in the context of this old fashioned world!
