The exploration of magic felt so unique and interesting, I was impressed by how the author was able to balance so many specific types without it all becoming a muddled mess. I like how all the characters are flawed, they felt realistic (though very dramatic, but that's allowed as this is a book and not real life).
The twists were really good! Clues were artfully placed and the plot was very interesting, there were so many aspects that grew slowly in the background and then cropped up fully formed unexpectedly. I really loved the tone of the writing too, super easy to read and a satisfying and clever narration. Really good!!!! Finding a good uniqu fantasy series can be so difficult, I'm excited to make my way through these.

I put all the triggers I remembered in "moderate", though some would definitely be better described as "minor" or "graphic".nnylelocin's review against another edition

aims to mislead you because the big key plot twist warps everything you’ve read so it’s totally unpredictable because you see each character’s perspective apart from the ones who are truly the masterminds behind these particular initiates being chosen so you are seeing it through their lens and are even more confused and creating personal theories which makes what really happens at the end more surprising than anything else because we now finally know what’s happening but the characters still don’t know the real reason why they’re there. I’m definitely reading the other books in this trilogy! I have a feeling everything I just wrote made no sense I was aiming to not spoil so it’s a book you need to read if you want to understand what I wrote 😭 it’s also got such a diverse set of characters and it’s such refreshing representation in all honesty :’)
