Yet another book I have read and forgot about but I liked it. The twist at the end is crazy. Going to read the second one. The audiobook makes it so much better

Again another book I wanted to like a lot more than I actually did. Plot was interesting. World was cool and vivid but there was way to much "say" not enough "do". I had to go back to the authors character tiktok like 10 times cause I kept getting them confused. Lots of backstories bunched up together in the beginning. Again I liked it and I'll definitely read book 2. Just had a few issues that made reading take a while.

First half of the book: 1 star. Second half: 3.5-4 stars. Overall I ended up enjoying this book, but I really disliked the first half. It started off as Uprooted, then turned into ACOTAR, which combined with the excessive and repetitive internal dialogue, I became annoyed very quickly with the lack of originality and direction in the story.
The second half of the book took a turn and we saw more character growth and development, more world building and the story actually started going somewhere. Although it was still quite predictable, I did enjoy it and will probably read the sequel when it comes out!

I enjoyed this book I just thought the beginning was a little slow. I really liked the way the bond was written in here, it was not like any other fantasy book I have read to date. The ending was not something I guessed and it has me wanting to get the next book soon!

Excellent book and ending, although I hate Dahey now.
I would have liked the girl to be more nimble though, but I guess that no one's perfect.

Every time I thought I had this pegged I was wrong, which was nice tbh. There were times the author was a little heavy handed in the exposition, but the ending made up for it for me. I'm glad I read it and am going to read the second for sure.

2.5 stars. The world-building was okay. The plot was weak, at best. The characters were okay, but Larken was too childish for my taste. I don’t mind a good YA fantasy if it was written well. This one was too boring for me.
