Having heard a lot of mixed reviews, I have to say I liked it. While the world building was confusing and hard to follow at times from lack of explanation, I found the plot quite enjoyable and the characters kept me hooked. I admit that a lot of the plot twists were well done and had me unable to put the book down. Especially those last 40 or so pages! While the writing was questionable at times, it was honestly a fun read and I’m excited to see how everything will expand in the rest of the series.

I loved this book. Such a good read. I couldn’t put it down it was that good. Didn’t see the end coming.
Loved the plot twists and changes of events.

It’s no secret that people hate when money and recognition come easily to others because they went viral, especially if it’s a young woman, but these reviews are insane. No one in their right mind should compare the writing of a young girl writing a book for young audiences to Tolkien. Like what? Get a grip people. Yes, beautiful prose and unique worlds make for amazing books. But there are plenty of books with average prose and not-so unique plots and characters that are well worth reading just for entertainment value, especially younger, un-jaded readers. THAT is the audience for this book, and everyone else should maybe consider that every book is not for them before ruthlessly attacking an extremely young author who happened to go viral.

This book could have used another round of editing. Or maybe three. So much of it felt completely random and like the author was just following whatever felt like the most interesting idea at the time with no actual plan of what she wanted to happen. Isla doesn't know how to use the starstick except for when she does. The love interests are irredeemable assholes except when they aren't. Isla is both extremely capable and wildly incompetent depending on what suits the scene.
I mostly kept reading to see what other insane scenarios the author would come up with and yeah. It was all silly. A lot of the world building was flat and uninspired. I would skip over this one and will not be following the rest of the series.
