I read this book years ago, when it was first released and thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the magic system delightful and unique, the relationship between Kyrra and her mentor intriguing if fraught with complications, and the whole world detailed and rich. I recommend this book highly!

*Note that I read this book before I read Brightmoon #1 and did not struggle to enjoy it because of that. Meanwhile, I actually struggled to get into the first book despite how much I enjoyed this one. (Not terribly sure why, but I think it was mostly to do with pacing. This book moves much faster than the first book in the series.)
