4.0

I really enjoyed this book, it was very interesting although at first I had no clue what was going on at all. However, as I started to understand the magic system, I got more hooked to the book and the characters. I especially loved Galdriel's sassiness and sarcasm. Really amusing. I like that she started out alone but ended with more people then she imagined, which was pretty heartwarming to me. I am very tempted to start the next book right away now.

I’m not someone who gives 5 stars lightly. Novik’s writing style is exactly my cup of tea- witty, sarcastic, and provides enough detail without being flowery. I was hooked by this book from start to finish, and her world-building is phenomenal. This book has so many badass women I couldn’t get enough. I cannot wait to pick up the next book!
