Ava deserved better. Definitely more than those three sentences she got after her death.

People and whole armies can teleport in this series.  But then when some easy problems or obstacles can be solved with teleportation, suddenly everyone forgot that spell.


How can whole ass city fail to notice that two armies are coming for them, until the very last few seconds before they attack. During the day, mind you.

This was so fucking cute... I can't. ..
I loved it. Probably best book I have listened to this year. When I listen to audiobooks I usually listen with speed between 1.5x - 1.8x. This book I listened with 1.2x. Not a lot of books can call themselves that privileged. This alone could tell you how much I loved this book. I really liked that one character, whom was portrayed as strict and kind of villainy, turned out to be a pretty cool person.

The first 2/3rds of the book were not very good. But the last third was better than the whole first book, which was already great. Cant wait for the sequel.
