Only Amal El-Mohtar could make me cry over grammar. This story is gorgeous, the magic system is so beautiful and unique I cannot imagine how she thought it up. This is a story of love. Love of your sister, love of your work, love of your craft, and love of your lover. By the end I had tears in my eyes. I don't want to say anymore, go in blind and enjoy.
