Disliked lack of fantasy, its slow pace—took more than half of the book to get to the action after explaining the setting, rules and introducing characters, little character exploration despite character development, the insta love between the mc and her love interest, the ending, how the author told most of the events rather than shown—I don’t like that pov :/
This is the instance where I’d prefer a longer book bc there’s so much potential for this book. But I will try the sequel and maybe the side characters books bc I’m curious about them.

- Fable was a good main character. She was smart and she wasn't boring. She had flaws and goals and emotions and was fully fleshed out.
- West was cool.
- The characters were really great.
- The writing was a bit wordy at times.
Spoiler
- I liked Paj and Auster together.- I can't wait to read the next book.
