This book is infuriating. The story is so interesting, and I was completely wrapped up in the world, and the magic is fascinating.

But Diem and Luthor have become tired plot devices.

There is a character who should have been killed 7 times throughout that is forgiven at the end AFTER he was going to murder a school of children in the name of mercy.

That's not mercy. That's insulting plot armor.

I was loving this series. And the characters were interesting, but I'm really not sure I'm going to finish, and I'm a completionist.

I can love a story, but if you use and abuse characters, you've lost me.
