Well I have to eat all my words because that was pretty good and I’m a bit emotional at the ending

Oh this is a GREAT IDEA BUT NOT GREAT EXECUTION FUCK

Like my main frustration with this book is that the magic is incredibly poorly defined and that destroys any tension and ability of the reader to feel any sort of impending emotion LOL like i feel like the magic should be better defined and we should expect that the seal will have these effects because it’s been properly foreshadowed but instead everything comes out of nowhere

Girl how did she manage to have a spear sword and dagger in the span of three paragraphs and then tell us she explicitly didn’t have a spear

I knew this book was reminding me of the second/third books of Shadow and Bone but now it’s getting like really similar not only is she (spoilers) secreted away in a large underground rebel hideaway where she has little actual power but also she is appearing to her dark brooding enemy in semi physical form!
