One of the best original novels, hands down. Things I love: Well explained magic system Interesting mc Interesting characters with real motivations Has a magic school Lots of non combat challenges with interesting solutions, I particularly liked the challenge of finding a good gift Emotional problems from puberty done quite well (character makes some mistakes realizes them and tries to correct with partial success) Foreshadowing is vey good, new powers and spells don’t just appear out of left field I like the nobles, though I’ll admit they do a few too many stupid things, and you would expect natural selection to make them a bit less willing to antagonize future mages, if nothing else
