I've read on other reviews people pointing out that this book is less action packed than TFS, and that is true, however, i read this one much faster since i am so invested in the characters now.

These books are the perfect mix of complex magic systems mixed with character driven stories....more

Wow, this book felt like a time capsule. I sort of forgot how after the pandemic, everything used to be about the pandemic. I really enjoyed this book, i think it captures very well what 'loving life while also finding existing very hard' its like. The subject matter may be heavy but this isn't by any means a slow book, the writing is very easy to digest and it's very funny and full of comedy....more
