Very slow start for me. But the plot eventually had more character interaction about a third of the way through to finally pull the story through.

i really wanted to love this book but i was SO disappointed with the outcome. the world building and magic system made no sense, and it was just random sillyness everywhere, the romance SUCKED. it was "enemies to lovers" but they fell in love like 50 pages in. the characters all sucked, especially her dad. and since he literally died this whole book was pointless. the plot and pacing made zero sense and i had no idea what was going on the entire time

That was a wild ride. I adore the world building and dreamlike descriptions of events. Imaginative and unique, with a powerful ending that makes you want to immediately dive into the next book.

The world confused me at times but I enjoyed the plot! It's a good YA fantasy where the romance could basically be ignored if you want so if that's the vibe you're looking for I reccomend it!
