In some ways it started of as a typical quest novel where the MC had powers that they didn't know about and didn't know why(aw shucks, why me?) But it was a nice story and you had reason to root for the MC. This book is rated for middle grade, which is a fair assessment, but I feel like it does cater more toward the younger people in that age group.

A fun, fast-paced adventure story filled with magic, friendship, and family. I loved the folktale vibes and the intriguing world that Smith created. And I was especially fond of the diverse and quirky characters. 


This was a very good read that kept me intrigued all the way from the first page until the very end.
