I am in a bit of a reading slump and really struggling to find books that can really capture my attention. I picked up this book looking for a quick and enjoyable read and that's what I got, no more and no less. 

The magical aspects of the novel are what I appreciated the most, I think that the world-building is quite interesting and unique. 

I have to say that I was not particularly captured by the writing style, it was readable enough but quite plain. 
Also, the story is structured in a sort of episodic narrative so some subplots were more interesting, while others fell a bit flat for me. I think that towards the end the tone might have gotten a little too saccharine for my cold heart and the ending was a bit abrupt.
