4.2/5
Dette er briljant lesning for de som elsker dark academia sjangeren, men også for de som liker historisk fantasy og språk. Boken tar for seg den mørke realiteten som språk og kunnskap er bygget på, men sparer heller ikke på de gode stundene karakterene har sammen. Det er et lett, men veldig kult, magisystem og historien er utrolig lett å leve seg inn i.
