2.0
It's rare that I give a book 2 stars. It's probably a 2.5, but u just couldn't bring myself to give it 3. This book COULD have been amazing, the premise sounded great - the price of magic casting is destruction of the world.
I wanted so much more from the worldbuilding, and sadly that's where one-off fantasy usually fails. The book spent so much time focused on all of Aza's growing problems, when I just wanted more about the world and the tournament and the Guild and... You get the picture.
I think had it been written as multiple books, it would have given the writer more time to expand on all the really cool aspects. Unfortunately I have to say don't pick this one up.
