I really enjoyed this book for the characters and the world building. It took an entirely different view on witches and a magical society. It pulls together a lot of interesting ideas with a great set of characters and a highly interesting plot. It sets up a very interesting world with a set of political problems that add to the intrigue of the story. The story really keeps you on your toes throughout the novel. It is a great set up for a second book. I loved seeing the dynamic between Iseult and Safiya. The whole Threadsister or Threadbrother thing was really neat and I really liked how it was handled. This is a fantasy series you'll want to get in on now. If you're a fan of Sarah J. Maas then this is definitely for you. It's a great book to kick off 2016's YA fantasy books.
