I enjoyed this book! Cynthia is so level headed and forward focused, but also unfailingly kind and polite. She truly cares about people- not just her sorcerers, but just *people*. She doesn't abuse her powers or lose her temper or act rashly. I think the main male character's name would be a bit of a spoiler, but you'll see one male character get his own chapters. That's a pretty good clue, right? Haha. (I also appreciated that the villain has bad plans but doesn't get to actively be cruel. And the most annoying character has redeeming qualities.)
