Review of 'Between Ink and Shadows' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
This was a bit of a mixed bag. Not sure whether it was the audio format or just the book, but the beginning was somewhat confusing to follow, and I still don't fully get the reasoning for the FMC's actions at the end.
Other than that: the world-building (and magic system) are pretty solid, if limited, but the story overall is somewhat easy to predict (except one twist <spoiler> - that we're dealing with brothers, though that also gets somewhat foreshadowed</spoiler>) ).
It was an ok way to spend an afternoon, and I'll probably read the rest of the books, since they are short and entertaining. The romance here is nice though, especially if you like a headstrong (and tortured) FMC and mysterious broody MMC combo.
