Look, it’s not great literature, it could have used more time in editing, but you know what? It’s written to be a fun story for escapism, and it does that job. Despite the flaws, I had a really fun time reading this book. The plot was really interesting, the curses were unique, and there really wasn’t a dull moment.

Fun world building and you got to actually explore the world with that characters rather than being stuck in a castle.  A lot of twists I didn't see coming, which kept it interesting.  My biggest issue was the main character doesn't think she's powerful enough.  Even though she constantly proves herself as a dangerous competitor.  I think this is more because of the YA tag though. Up until
one quick finger banging
scene towards the end, I thought it was in the middle of the YA spectrum.

Started off a little bit lost as far as islands/new lands and if the -ings were considered different than humans.
Literary book crime not including a map, I think a map would have helped a LOT. Got better and more clear as the book went on. I found the main character relatable (sometimes frustrating, but in a way that made her understandable and real). Still processing some of it might need to do a re-read before the next one comes out. 
Did not care for the female friendships/relationships/representation in the book. 
I also feel like the only way the twist(s) were able to happen was because we were kept in the dark confused and only given the little bits and pieces of information a little at a time. 
I also felt the 100-500 years things was weird and unnecessary when so many characters were immortal. Like time just didn’t mean anything. 
also both male love interests have some SERIOUS control issues like girl run and run fast. She cannot trust anyone or anything. Also I consider memory wiping one person in a couple a literary crime.

I was entertained by this book the way that I was watching Twilight, knowing that it was no great masterpiece but was endlessly entertaining.

While some of the descriptions and names of objects/places were childish, it was fun to read. I did not need to think too hard and could relax while following along the plot with the main character. Yes, the book has its faults, but I liked it and will most likely be purchasing the next book in the series.
