I am always on the lookout for a new fantasy series and this one sounded like it was just up my alley. While this book is fun and I enjoyed the magic system and the characters, I was looking for something a bit deeper. I felt like this book was written to appeal to a wide audience and it definitely will, but if you are looking for an unforgettable story with unique characters, I think this one misses the mark a bit. For me this one was a good story but I don't think I'll be continuing with the series as it didn't intrigue me enough to want to read the next book. Audio narration by Kasi Hollowell is done well and the pacing was good. Audio ARC provided by Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op in exchange for an honest review.
