This book was interesting enough to get me through to the end, but it was not really my cup of tea. It adheres much too strongly to the expected YA tropes with not much deviation, and doesn’t do it in a sufficiently interesting way in my opinion.

Eh, I feel indifferent if not slightly negatively towards this book. I just… didn’t like it. And I can’t even put my finger on why?

5.0

The last half of this book got me. I was in it. There was action and angst. At points I was nitpicking bits of the plot but by the end I didn't really care.

At a couple points I was shocked which I love in a book because I means it's hooked me in. There were also points that were predictable but honestly that didn't matter to me. I can't wait for the second book.

I really liked this! I really enjoyed the friendship even though we didn’t get to see them together. I did not enjoy the insta love but whatever, it was kind of excused. I do wish Sabrine had some kind of romance. She was my favorite and I wish we got more of her to be honest. The guy was fine he wasn’t anything special. I thought the bone crier magic was interesting.
