This book came so close to being a 5-star read for me! I absolutely loved the magic, the world-building, and the sense of adventure. The action scenes were thrilling and kept me hooked. My only critique is the ending—it could have been stronger in terms of closure or perhaps left more open for a second book (for reasons I won’t spoil). Still, it’s an incredible journey, and I highly recommend it!

read like poorly executed YA. characters acting as if they're drowning in melodrama but it's not actually in the text. boring.
