This story had me invested from the get go. An adventure in a fantasy land to save her family. The protagonist is amazing. The side characters are fantastic. You root for everyone. You want to see the takedown. The ending is satisfying. It’s everything I’d want in a fantasy novel. It’s YA so although I’d have requested smut, I know why it’s not there. A must read !

Often called a cozy fantasy, it is definitely a nice story. But there are some darker themes.
