This book was an amazing tale of fate vs. free will, sibling bonds, and magic. The magic system is wonderfully fresh as long as you don't mind picking up its rules from context clues. More so than just the magic system, but the world building around it, how magic existing affects religions and society and the people who can't do magic is creative an interesting. The main character(s) are compelling and the way the book handles gender is fascinating. I love this queer magic book.
