My first ever fantasy! I can't wait to read the sequel. I did struggle in the very beginning just because I wasn't used to picturing an alternate universe, but once I got into the groove of things, the story was good. I'm sure a re-read of this one will end up with 5 stars now that I've read more diverse titles. I enjoyed this and would recommend to any new adult that is in their beginning stages of fantasy.

Interesting magic premise though I'd hope for more description in the next book. Wasn't much of a surprise that the soul magic was tainted, considering that it's getting used to execute people in a rather twisted way. I enjoyed the adventure overall and the reveal of how much the king had been lying about wasn't a surprise but it was still handled well.
I liked the mermaid and pirate especially.

For most of the book I found myself very back and forth as to whether or not I liked it. The premise/plot was very interesting and kept me hooked, even when I was unsure but the writing had me feeling a little uninspired at times. A big scene toward the end completely hooked me, though, had the rest of the book been like that scene I would have rated it 5 stars. Definitely going to read the next one.
