such a good fantasy read. i would highly recommend for ages 15 and above. please check the content warnings before reading though. it might be too overwhelming for some people. i would not recommend this book as like the very first book you read as a teen. start with something more lighthearted and easy to read. read this after like 5 different books or so. its a really good book for getting into fantasy though! 

(the content warnings i've put is for both the first and second book of this duology)

I absolutely loved this book!! I loved the fast-paced nature of the plot and I literally could not put it down. I loved the way that the girl was the tough badass character instead of the guy love interest. Although the troupes are real predictable at times, the actual plot and adventure really made up for it. Also, I like sometimes for troupes to be predictable but that just may be me.
