3.0

This fell a little bit flat for me. It is supposed to be all about magic, and yet I have no idea how the magic system works. The few instances where magic was uses were just statements like "She opened the door with magic." Or "He made a shield with magic." 

Also, a lot of politics which I'm not fond of personally. 

I wish the magic system was more thoroughly explained. I wish the story had a more at stake. I wish the characters had more life in them. I wish there was more tension and, I don't know, thrill?
