World building and immersion are amazingly well done. There’s lots of factions, characters, and lands. But despite this, I never felt confused or overloaded with information. But the Female Lead is so irritating. She’s not only naive, but denser than lead. She never asks the right questions, so much so that any foreshadowing becomes blatant and frustrating. It’s one thing to have an author guide the readers to future plot twists, and another to spoon feed them it with their nose pinched shut. I hope the supporting characters are treated better in the next book, and that the FL wises up.

disappointed ☹️ 
Likes: 

• Hot romance and love interests
• Worldbuilding 
• Love triangle 
• Gorgeous cover

Dislikes: 

• Brie seemed to be “not like other girls” and was pretty annoying 
• Pretty cliché 
• Came across like it was trying hard to be cool but just succeeded at being annoying 
• Boring start
• Didn’t really capture my attention or feelings 
• Romantic pacing was jumpy and weird

whimsically magical & kinda spicy

Ok I guess I didn’t review this upon my first read back in August 2021, my bad! I re-read it to prepare for book and I really enjoyed it all over again but wasn’t keeping heavy tabs bc I just needed a refresher before diving into the conclusion. 

I really like Brie and the other characters more than I remember (I actually really enjoyed the goblins lmao) and feel like I connected more with them - I really felt the camaraderie between Brie & Finn’s band of misfits! I actually liked both love interests (until a certain point) but Finn takes the cake for me 🤤. 

The ending thoooooo!!! Can’t wait for book two out tomorrow !

One of the characters is drugged without their knowledge.
