I truly could not get past her father betraying her in one of the worst ways. Reading that and the final scene with the king really put me off of the book and the series as a whole

This book started out pretty silly, but then it gets so good. The characters are better developed than I expected. The plot is also surprising and fun.

Not YA, an easy read that doesn't require any critical thinking. It's hysterical and I read the entire book in about 5 hours. I would probably put this in the romcom catergory, with dark themes but the overall ton is rather lighthearted. There isn't a ton of world building and the setting is rather low fantasy but the world feels appropriate to the level of knowledge that (sheltered) Evil has. Overall this is a very well written book can't wait for the next one!
