3.0

This book had so much potential but it just fell flat for me. I loved the world building and the magic system was so interesting. I wish the author had really taken the time to develop the relationships and spent more time with the magic system. 
So much of this book just felt rushed. I loved the twists and turns but they would have been so much more impactful if we hadn't rushed to them. I'm still planning on reading the sequel because I do want to know what happens and I really like the main character.
