 I'm having a hard time deciding whether I want to rate this a 4 or a 5 on here. I really loved this book. I listened to the audiobook and I think the narrator did a FANTASTIC job. His Mr. Kindly is my favorite. 
 As far as the book goes, I actually enjoyed the footnotes. I know a lot of people either found them annoying or that they took them out of the story, but I found myself enjoying them for the most part. I will admit that around maybe 4-5 times it did take me out of the story and was frustrating that I had to listen to the footnote when I just wanted to know what happens next. 
 The setting was super cool, a school for assassins??? Yes. I did want more from it though, I wanted more school scenes, I wanted more learning and studying. I'm not sure how universal that feeling is, but I really like watching a character learn and grow and become stronger and I feel like we missed out a little on that. 
 Overall I really like the character and her development through the book, I loved the side characters in all their complex, morally grey, glory, and I really liked how deep and diverse the world was. I'm super pumped for Godsgrave and I'm literally downloading the audiobook rn.
