Enjoyed the story the whole way through. The new characters are great and the pop references are on point. Had a little issue with the ending. Black holes are black holes. I know this is a world of magic but it shouldn’t take more then one black hole to kill anything. If your attack is bending light itself then nothing, unless specifically stated as magic shenanigans, can keep its body from being torn apart. Lastly, a reason for the mastermind to back off at that critical moment. Low mana ,unstable connection or something would have sufficed. Otherwise, I can’t wait for the next book.
