"The easiest 5 star I have ever given" ***** Reader Review
-------------------------------------------------------------
For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to the study of magic.
When she finally achieves her ambition to become the first woman admitted to the High Magistry at the University of Magics and Industry, she finds herself undermined at every turn. Instead of a lab assistant, she's paired with a janitor, putting her crucial research at risk.
But Thomil wasn't always a janitor. Once a nomadic hunter from the wild plains outside the city, he now sees a chance to understand the forces that decimated his tribe and drove him from his homeland.
Together they will uncover an ancient secret that could change the course of magic forever - if it doesn't get them killed first.

Heartbreaking and fast paced
Starting with a heartbreaking scene, the story develops with the main characters meeting at a university in a very hierarchical and exclusionary urban society. Their research has dire consequences for their identities and their understanding of the city state they live in. Finishing this in an almost-all-night-session, and yes, I cried at the end. -

fantasy standalone
It's kind of hard to find a fantasy standalone. Naturally, it's even harder to find a good one. The solution to this problem ?Blood over bright haven. M.L Wang manages to craft a world with an interesting magic system that shows that power always has a prize. Furthermore, she writes about many important topics, such as classism, racism and colonialism. All this is mainly told through the pov of Sciona, one of the main characters who manages to become the first female high mage ever. But as she rises in the ranks, she also learns that her new-found power comes at a teribble price. So now she has to decide: how much is she willing to give up for justice? -

Stunning stand-alone with dark academia vibes
An absolutely fantastic and terrifying story with a great constructed magic system and strong-willed characters. There are some important topics embedded such as discrimination, misogyny and moral balancing. And there is blood, a lot of it. A page-turner with wow-effect - highly recommended!
