I'm in love with this book. No seriously. The magic used isn't something I've ever seen before, and while I've seen some reviews saying it's hard to follow exactly how the magic is used and the idea behind it, I found it easy enough to follow. That, and there's an appendix at the back explaining everything. Some of the characters annoyed me at times, but it wasn't enough for me to lower my rating. This book is absolutely massive which is a bonus for me! I'm so excited to start the next one!
