I'm still thinking about the magic and the world this book was set in a day after reading it. Puzzling thru what the author told me about magic ink and what I think I learned and can speculate at. That's a great thing for me. This author built a new world I want to know more about. And no vampires, werewolves, shifters, or fairies in sight. Just magic, tied to more or less normal people. Ok and maybe a demon or three.I can't pretend I followed all the points perfectly, either. It did get a bit confusing. There are still some plot points I'm puzzling over. It was sometimes hard to follow the inner dialogue between our heroine and her parasite. (My word, not the authors). It made me think and it made me work a bit, in a good way. I loved the story telling style the author used. It's different but I can't really tell you how, I just know it was a bit different and I liked it.I think more work needs to happen on our heroine, how she was written seems a bit like the author waffled between a locked down hidden away recluse and someone else, and could have done a little more to help us, the reader, root for her. But I am rooting for her. And I do want to return to this world. I do want to read more about Isa and Murmur. I do want to know more about Live Ink and how it works. I can't ask for anything more than that.
