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 !

A delightfully charming cast of characters teams up to defeat a very human threat: domestic violence and abuse. The world has a rich magic that is only glimpsed, but is deeply compelling. There is humor and moments of victory throughout. The bone dog is an incredibly lovely companion.

The ending is everything I wished for. It's hopeful and dangerous without ever feeling to trite.
