Myrthe was frustrating and annoying, and the insta-love interest was not fun to read. Miscommunication, or lack of communication, to make the characters have conflict also irritates me.

I LOVED WISHTRESS. The relationships were so complex. There was no "right answer" for anything. Evey tiny choice had enormous consequences and the characters were frequently forced to level with them. I loved how the author upped the stakes with every plot beat and threw multiple twists in. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an germanic fantasy that has complex character relationships and magic that has far reaching consequences.
