This is my first time reading anything from this author, so I had no idea what to expect. Personal spoiler alert: I really enjoyed it!
This book has a magnificent world-building that doesn't resemble anything I've read before. From the vastly different landscapes; to the fantasy races and cultures and the magic system, you can tell the author put a lot of effort and love into this story.
While I can understand Mila's need to go to such lengths to unlock her magic and move on with her life, some of her choices seemed selfish at first. She put herself and her friends in mortal danger with a levity that sometimes felt anticlimatic. But in the end, it was all for the greater good and I could root for her success.
OMG... is this a sign I'm no longer of age to read YA novels???
I believe this is part of a series, but this book is self-conclusive. I recommend this if you're looking for a different (very different) version of a fantasy world and magic system.
