dahliapyne's review

4.0

Would not recommend for kids/teens because of many problematic/disturbing behaviors from a main character, but I really enjoyed it! It was an intriguing plot, interesting characters, and had a mostly satisfying ending. I loved seeing characters grapple not only with  fantastical elements but also the side effects of those! Very thought-provoking!

I love the writing, but I hate one of the main characters. I am eager to finish this series and move on to a new world.

complex but lacked the tension to be truly engaging. It honestly feels like the prologue of a different story (which it kinda is)
