5.0

I am shook. This book started out slow, but once the story hit the first reveal it started to push along quickly. 

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.
