I think that this is a really solid ya fantasy, but I just didn’t care about the characters that much. About halfway through I was like “im just gonna finish this because I want to know who the killer is.” I got to a point where I just didn’t really care but I did finish it so there’s that.

This book is heavy and dark. It's mysterious and beautiful. Jessica Olson is so descriptive with her work it's like you're there. 

So many twists and turns and it really kept me guessing. Nothing felt obvious or used as just a way to drive the plot. Everything was well planned and well executed.

Pacing was great. A good mix of slow where necessary and fast when needed. 

The magic is balanced and there is growth and character development. There are lessons to be learned here. I really enjoyed this read.
