Recommended by my daughter who’s read at least one more book in this series. I read it because I’ve been trying to find great fantasy books by female authors. I like this one and will probably try the next. 

The author deals with some dark themes like death and abandonment in a way that’s understandable and not too scary. There’s a good mystery about a mythological figure and some spiritual magic like tarot
