Jamie’s review
This is such a beautifully written dark high fantasy, I really enjoyed it, even though I had to stare at the wall after. It's pretty dark.
Sciona is a baddie trying to prove herself as the only female highmage, reminded me a little of Lessons in Chemistry. Or my own career as a software engineer 😉
Her and her lab assistant Thomil learn the truth and cost of magic, then have to decide what to do about it. I wish there was more of a happy ending because I need more happiness in my life. But the characters and storyline make up for it.
