alobearThis was a reread for the Reviews Revisited series of videos on my YouTube channel.
I enjoyed it overall, though it felt like it took a while to really get going and engage my emotions as well as my interest. It's a cleverly woven tale - while certain aspects of the magical world don't really make sense, if you just go with it, it's complex, layered and impactful.
As with a lot of stories, it's about abuses of power and members of the groups being exploited or marginalised eventually rising up to fight the sytem.
There's a good range of characters, though the number of different factions and agendas makes it a bit confusing at times.
Generally, a good read and I'm looking forward to finally getting round to the sequel, now I've remembered the story of this one.
