Oh how I loved this book! I got sucked in real quick and I loved every single second of it. It had all my favorite elements in a fantasy, and was very well done. The writing is excellent, the world building and story are grand, the characters are all very interesting, and the magic system is very cool and unique. I loved the kind of ancient Roman setting, and I’m always a sucker for dark academia! Sometimes I struggle with political led fantasy because I get so confused lol, and while I was still kinda confused here lol, I enjoyed it all and I don’t think I’m supposed to know it all yet. I definitely recommend this book!
