Woahhhh these chapters are long. That first one was tough to get through. I get that fantasy usually has to have a lot of exposition for worldbuilding but that was just non-stop info and new words being introduced. We don’t even know who this girl really is yet but we already know the basics of this super complex magic system. But it sounds interesting enough! Hope there’s a strong enough plot to guide it

Woah I just stayed up until 1 am finishing chapter 6…it’s a very long chapter, but the second part of it is so good!! I love the action scenes so much, they’re so unique and genuinely so well written. Like nothing is cliche at all in this book. I’m really rooting for El now and I’m loving getting to know her as a person! Feel like that was the turning point mid-book climax to set up the rest of the story

WHY am I actually enjoying the growing dynamic between El and Orion?? I hate romance with every fibre of my being and actively go out of my way to avoid it, especially when it’s between teenagers and especially when it’s straight. And here we have a growing (which I know ends up romantic) hetero bond between sixteen year olds and I’m…not hating it???? Maybe it’ll get more unbearable later, who knows

Enjoyment rate has significantly increased!! Now that I ‘get it’ and I’m getting used to how this world works, I’m finding it really fun! It’s very much a ‘no ploy just vibes’ kind of book but the vibes are great and I love the narrative/character voice of El

Literally read all day today (only 34 pages but it felt like more lol). I’m super intrigued by the magic and the school system and love getting bits of El’s backstory. But the way all this information is told is just a bit too forced upon us, not occurring naturally through action. The story thrives when there’s a good balance of dialogue/action sprinkled within El’s long-winded explanations
