The ending was satisfying, especially if you only plan to read the first book.

So this has all the basic elements of Robin Hood while having its own unique plot line. Which honestly made this story extraordinarily fun.
Archer’s exact relevance/relation to May was hard to figure out. Which I appreciated. And honestly, until the truth came out I was guessing.
The magic system of this world is also one of a kind which made this world so fun to discover throughout the book.
I will say Sheriff (the dog) showing back up at the end is my only gripe. Like… this dog has been gone for weeks, it’s very convenient he makes it back to his own right when he can be useful.

A basic YA fantasy that was easy to read and enjoyable. It wasn't very deep or dark or dramatic, just a light read with interesting magic and a nice twist.

Lovely concept. Painting curses was such a cool thing to read about. Briar was my favourite character. All the other characters weren't really nice to her so I didn't like them too much. The story derailed and got boring with every page so I really lost interest.
(Also, let woman go feral. She picked up the sword and almost stabbed the asshole but noooo, vengeance would change her. Yeah no shit! Change her for good so she won't let any man take advantage of her, ever. Stab that asshole!)
(Also me restarting this book after getting into F1 and being shocked everytime the narrator said Esteban

This book was ok. It kind of ended abruptly and I'm not sure if I'm interested enough in reading the next book. I feel like we didn't get to know the characters enough to care about them. I also don't think enough about the magic was explained. There author never really explains how it actually works like are people born with it or can anyone learn it? If I run out of things to read, I might read the next book, but I'm not going to right away.
