The rating is the same, because it wasn’t a 5 book for me, but it was def better than the first book IMO. I actually like this book A LOT more than I did the first.

I suppose these are all expected responses, but I really do want to love this series because I like the magic system and the way it is written. It is so thick I swear I could break a table with it or something. ![]() I have high hopes for this monster of a novel. So what better book than to dive deep, other than this one?
