I enjoyed this book, despite what others said about it being slow or boring compared to the rest of the series. It was a fun beginning to what has become one of my favorite series ever.

It was brilliantly written. I'm coming from the ACOTAR series where plot is almost secondary to the romance, but this is very much the opposite. I love it. If you are looking for a strong heroine, you've found the right book.
