Overall, the main character is unlikeable and, despite this clearly trying to be a feminist novel, Esther (protagonist) ignores all the female mentors to chase after male attention, which the author chalks up to "love" but the ending is actually very messed up and unsatisfying.
I wish the book was half the length, without a love interest, and that the author leant into the mystic, fairytale worlds she built well and actually left something to the reader's imagination!
