Good setup for a series but needed more character development. Particularly between characters. The love interests were weakly incorporated and the main character was brash and obnoxious. I wish she would have been developed more in terms of her intelligence. But the storyline is good and I will be reading the second book in the series.

An original and intriguing new fantasy plot with great world-building that didn’t bog you down to read. The characters were fun and layered and felt real - some good character development so far as well. Liking the magic system although some more insight into the possibilities of this would be good - perhaps more to come in the next books. 

The romance subplot is great and just enough to keep you interested without taking over the story. I think there are a lot of questions unanswered but hinted at.

Beautifully written and so easy to read - finished it within a day. 

Excited for more in this series, a great new fantasy romance find.
