I found this book really interesting as a concept, but I don’t know if the first book made justice to the plot. I think the main protagonist Jane is a bit whiny, even though she is probably going through the worst time ever, it still is kind of annoying. Aside from Jane I really like the other characters and I find them interesting, every single one of the knights are lovable and even the bad guy is entertaining, although we didn’t see much of him in this first book. Clearly this book it’s an opening to this fantasy world and it really doesn’t give you as many answers as you might expect. Everything seems to be very surface level but I will read the next two books in the trilogy to make sure.
