View submission: Best Debut Novel of 2018 - Voting Thread
This is my vote. It's funny, when I first got it I got like 100 pages in and put it down for awhile thinking its the same formulaic YA novel of lowly poor youth gets into the university/academy where she is ostracized and most overcome things to excel. And it was that for the beginning but then suddenly accelerates to a million miles an hour involving a huge scale nation war and god magics /alternate planes and a bunch of other crazy shit that I thought made it fantastic. Great debut by a young writer.

Absolutely. The dark turns it takes, especially with the seemingly wonderful main character, are so well done. Excited for book 2 next year
