This book was a bit slow to get interesting, but then I didn't want to put it down. 

The main character screams "not like other girls" and we're reminded of this every time she makes a big deal of wearing skirts vs pants. I found a lot of her personality to be a bit grating, but she grew on me.

I guessed one of the plot twists / reveals of the book, and it was a predictable one, but the rest had me second guessing myself constantly, which was fun. 

I did start to laugh every time the author described any of the men's muscular thighs, as it was definitely higher than average compared to other books I've read 😅 

After getting halfway through the book it really picked up and I'm genuinely interested in reading the sequel. (Hopefully it will have less typos than this one though). 

I picked this book up in the general Fantasy section in a book store, but it definitely reads as very Young Adult in parts and verging on New Adult in others.
