I thoroughly enjoy immersing myself in this world. It is cerebral, and dark. The mind bending magic system really scratches an itch in my brain. Sasha and Farik have an interesting, and contemptuous relationship that I enjoy following. The world building in this is as deep and wonderful as in Vita Nostra. I really love that the reader is in the same position as the protagonist when it comes to learning about the magic system and its dangers. I do hope the 3rd story is released.

Well now the ending of the last book finally makes sense!! Only now I’m confused all over again bc I have no idea what was going on at the end of this one. This is one of the most unique series I’ve ever read. It’s unnerving, strangely compelling, and difficult to fully grasp conceptually. Initially it took a little warming up to, but now I’m completely hooked, and I feel like I found these books at exactly the right time in my life. I cannot wait for book three. This series is so addictive I literally cannot put the books down

Not quite as good as the first, but I was still engaged the whole way through. I really liked Sasha as a protagonist, the vibes, the weirdness and the world building.
