    Enjoyment: 4.0Quality: 2.5Characters: 2.5Plot: 3.0

    I mostly enjoyed this, the magic system was unique and the plot was good, like there were certain parts that were foreshadowed really well. I struggled a little to see the main characters as people in their late 20s/early 30s. There are some truly questionable decisions and leaps in logic being made that make me question their ages, although having said that, they are elves who live until 120, so maybe they're meant to be the equivalent of teenagers or young adults. But if that were the case, I don't think they would be the first choice for promotions within the army. Eh, who knows?

    I also skimmed a lot of the romance-y and sexy bits. I found them a little... eh? Like, the romances were rooted entirely in lust.

    Still, I enjoyed it enough that I'll probably read the next book.
