i don’t have any complaints abt this honestly, nor do i think this is the most astonishing novel ever known to mankind, i just think its kinda good, that’s it. its kind of like percy jackson except instead of it being about greek mythology its about elves. one thing i really liked was that the world building was not super complex and heavily complicated, unlike other fantasy books that make you want to just fling you and the book out the nearest window, because this is a book meant for middle schoolers it’s very simple to understand everything about the elves and where they live, etc etc. also liked that as the story progresses more and more information is slowly revealed, making the reader want to continue on so they can figure out wtf is going on. this is just in general a cute little fantasy book that i think kids and adults alike can thoroughly enjoy. definitely going to read the rest of the books in this series.
