 overall it was a good book, but there were some things i wish were more in depth i guess?
i wish we saw more background for multiple characters such as Isadore, the Queen, the King, and honestly the rest of the cast because i didnt care for much of them
i also wouldve liked less flashbacks of the past-like many others had said it was a lot of telling rather than showing 
i did like the magic and tattoo system, i wish we expanded on it more though
i dont think I would read the sequel but this was still a decent read
