Still not loving the second-person narration but happily it’s only in one of the 3 POVs we’ve gotten so far. Really took a much darker turn in the last 80 pages or so and it’s super uncomfortable - which is great, well done to the author. I like that we seem to have a POV at every age/stage: one in hiding, one young child new recruit, one mid-career looking to move up but just now realizing the horror of it all

The second-person narration is throwing me off a bit, but I’m intrigued enough by the world to get passed that. I’m also a bit confused about the world and the magic at this point though. I also feel like this book needs a glossary.
