This book was so good! Like, stay-up-til-2am-to-finish-it GOOD. It was action-packed and adventurous, and I absolutely LOVED the FMC. Her friends were awesome too. And Morrgot. I hope there’s a little more about the magic system in the next book, but overall I thought the world building was fantastic. Docked a quarter of a star because the author kept calling the horse’s bridle a halter—as a horse person this deeply annoyed me. Google’s not that hard.

I found this story a bit slow to get going, but once it did, boy did it go! I stayed up stupid late to finish it, then immediately went to buy the next in the series.

[Writing this review having read the second and third already] 
HoBW in my opinion is quite slow, and some pieces of the plot were dragged out more than they needed to be. But having read the other books in the series already, I can tell you that the series pays off. The story is super entertaining, and I read books 1-3 all in less than five days total! I definitely recommend.

When I first started this book I wasn't sure I was going to connect with Fallon. I saw a few other reviews that mentioned she annoyed them.

At the start of the book Fallon is 10 or 12 and then she's 22...yet still acted like she did at the younger age. This did bother me at first...I mean how is she 22?! But after a while it made more sense. Although Fallon did live being treated as "other" by most of the people she passed...she was still very sheltered and protected.

The journey Fallon goes on is really her first experience in the world without someone familiar with her. She grows a lot on this journey and I look forward to seeing what happens in the books to come.
