3.0

This is a solid young person’s fantasy novel. It has a strong female lead who predictably grows and discovers her own strength as she faces adversity. It has intrigue without much depth, no big surprises and looks ahead to a brighter future.

The world building is quite flat - very traditional gender roles, typical coming of age story and a court full of stereotypes.

I feel this would be a nice gateway to fantasy novel for a young girl looking for her place, but as an adult, it did not have much to make it stand out. Enjoyed whole read but easily forgotten.
