Like Seanblue, I found the first two-thirds of this book to be a complete slog. Myne spends most of her time making ink, similar to her time spent in previous books making paper or other objects. This part was 3 stars at best for me since it was rather boring.

However, after the 70% mark, the book improved greatly! There's finally some more information about noble society and magic use, as well as lots of action and drama! The epilogue was also very very interesting and I can't wait to see the implications that the last third of this book will have on the next one.

In summary, most of this book is slow-going, but the ending more than makes up for it. 4 stars.
