Rielle’s challenges showcase the magic at its full – a death-trap maze of moving metal, a mountain being brought down on her and more. I knew her motivations, and loved her relationships with Ludivine and Audric (even if I could have done without the sex scene). That’s where the magic was, and the strongest goals/stakes. Obviously, two POVs and story lines means you have a favourite. As well as your regular fire-water-earth-air, there’s also shadow, light and metal. I adore elemental magic, and most of my ‘but what are the limitations?’ demands go out the window. Did that bother me much? Surprisingly, no. Did Rielle feel like she had all the magic in the world so why was she struggling? Yes. Can I tell you what the limitations are? No. The magic was so much fun, if vague and hand-wavey.
