The Shadow of What Was Lost

It's a good book albeit a bit unoriginal. Hard to describe as the premise is the same old trope but there are sections of the book that pique and keep your interest going. IMO this is not the in the same league as Sanderson or Wheel of Time as some reviews mention but the reading pays off and I'm looking forward to starting the second book. Giving 4/5 as I really wish the magic system was a little more fleshed out and the motivations of antagonists were a little less boring.
