This book left me cold and I have no idea why. It’s well written and it has everything I want: magic, adventure, a super charming main character, and a little bit of romance thrown in for good measure.
I think what threw me off is I found it hard to relate to the main character. She’s the type who expects things to go wrong, so she has a tendency to self-sabotage. Although I was able to understand why she was doing what she was doing, it’s so far from who I am that I found it hard to relate to her.
