didn't expect to like this much a cozy fantasy, but now i can't wait for the sequel (i thought it was a standalone 😭) the magic system is innovative and creative. the characters are well defined and i got attached to them pretty quickly. the plot is a bit predictable, but i loved the slow burn (that's actually burning throughout the book, not like other slow burn in which nothing burns until the very end😮‍💨) and the rivalry vibes ✨️

my face while reading was 🤭🤭
