Mixed feelings. I loved most of this book but some bits felt too obvious/ rushed for the plot to advance quickly. All in all though I really enjoyed hanging w Abriella. The next book is so far away 😭

Overall I wasn’t really a fan, I liked the premise as I tend to like these sort of faire ya novels. However I just felt like the book was very similar to acotar but it wasn’t as well written as Sarah j Mass.

The start was very fast paced which I normally enjoy but I feel like I didn’t have enough time to care for the main character.

In regards to characters I didn’t really like Brie as I felt she was trying too hard to be like other girls, but did t really have a personality? It’s mentioned she likes reading towards the middle of the book, but it seems like it’s only used as a plot point, not really part of her character. It the start it also had a seen where she is a thief but it doesn’t really go in depth explaining how she got her skills and is not truely mentioned much, and as a thief she isn’t as subtle as I would think, therefore this seems to only be a trait added that wasn’t really thought through. Overall I thought Brie was very one dimensional and superficial.

Towards the love interests I don’t really have anything to say they seemed like the typical love interests in these sort of books.

In regards to plot I wasn’t that interested however the last 100 pages it started to pick up a bit so I enjoyed it a bit more.

Also wanted to comment that for a book the revolves around magic the magic system wasn’t very well explained and the rules seemed to contradict themselves quite a bit. The system just seemed to change whenever needed to benefit the characters. For example the goblins needing a price for information but answering many questions for one lock of hair? It just seemed like Brie needed to know something and the author couldn’t figure out another way of getting it to her.

No hate to the author just my opinion.

World building and immersion are amazingly well done. There’s lots of factions, characters, and lands. But despite this, I never felt confused or overloaded with information. But the Female Lead is so irritating. She’s not only naive, but denser than lead. She never asks the right questions, so much so that any foreshadowing becomes blatant and frustrating. It’s one thing to have an author guide the readers to future plot twists, and another to spoon feed them it with their nose pinched shut. I hope the supporting characters are treated better in the next book, and that the FL wises up.
