Solid start to the series. The colour magic is unique and interesting. Creon and Emelins banter and training was fun to read and the stakes are high. Emelin has magic she shouldn't have. One day the Silent Death catches her using her magic and snatches her away to the crimson court where she has to play political games and she tries to learn what her place is in the world. Lots of backstories that sound interesting to learn about. Looking forward to book 2
