An exciting ride from top to bottom. A great magic system and a unique world provide a great foundation that mostly pays off.

Book #1

I loved the framing of magic as a series of rules. Fun, heist-y read and a good setup for more to come.

Book #2

A worthy expansion of the universe from the first book. Characters are explored and expanded while the stakes are raised. We're getting really cosmic, but the book never strays from its superb worldbuilding.

Book #3

Dragged a bit and lost some of the more focused storytelling earlier books showcased. But I loved the ambition of its scope and world. Falls into some well-tread fantasy tropes but balances those with some truly fascinating and original concepts.
