5.0

this book is truly incredible. i have never read a novel with such a beautiful message behind it, to take the dagger in your hand and not fear the blade as you carve your own fate, and are the creator of your own destiny. it is a tale of love in all of its forms, and how no matter what, family will always love you enough to let you go. this book will stay with me for a long time, perhaps the rest of my life, and i will most definitely revisit it. how wonderful it is to love.

3.85- cute story. Liked the characters and thought the worldbuilding was done well. The writing was a little simplistic but still done well. There is nothing wrong w the book to not deserve a 4, simply that I wasn’t “consumed” by the story. All in all, it was a nice, fun read. Would not read again.
