Enjoyed this book, especially as the first in a series. It set up the world well. I wish there was more female companionship and less internalized misogyny.

Yes, it's aimed at people much younger than me, and yes, there are definitely Harry Potter influences... But it's also a fast paced, imaginative, fantasy adventure that's heaps of fun to read. I'm hooked and can't wait to binge the rest of the series.
