Well, guess this book was okay. The first few chapters I quite liked it, eventually I got a bit bored and started to skim the pages. Also have to say that the english was pretty hard to understand for a non-nativ English speaker. My favorite character was Winn and I also enjoyed reading about Buttons. Also, Delly was an interesting character to read about and I was a fan of the criticism of classisim that was portrayed through the plot and interactions/dialogues. Don't know what to think about the romance plot though, I hoped for a slow burn but it was the total opposite. 
All in all it was an okay read.

I really enjoyed this book -- it's kind of a classic medieval-esque wizardry book, but with a heartwarming queer romance that never failed to make me smile. The characters are loveable and the plot dark enough to feel realistic. Reminded me a lot of Terry Pratchett's books!

This book is similar to the European Renaissance-esque YA novels of my adolescence, with a resourceful and clever protagonist and lovable dolt of a love interest. Except there's hard drugs and casual sex so this is definitely a grown up book. Very much recommend to others.
