Reads like fanfiction to me. An amazing, great world, but with obnoxious tropes and characters. This was definitely written by a beginner writer.

APPARENTLY, THE AUTHOR COMPLETELY RUINS IT IN THE 2ND BOOK, SO I WILL NOT BE READING THE REST OF THE SERIES.

I can't help but rate this book 4.75 stars! This is technically a reread, as I have read it once during middle school. Now as an adult, I can see the appeal of the book to my middle school self and still do enjoy the book. There are moments when the characters get on my nerves, but I have to remember that they are children and trained to think in certain ways.

meagangrace's review against another edition

2.5

Overall I think I liked this book except this little detail. They were all so young and were forced into conflict and romantic relationships. There were several times when the decisions either felt illogical or not age appropriate. I'm no expert on it so I may be completely wrong, that's just the way it felt to me. Something that was done right though is it kept me hooked most of the way, it even has me wanting to read the next book even though I was so unhappy with some things. I did appreciate how Agatha's goal was realistic and consistent for most of the story until it got to the end. I didn't feel the same about Sophie. (spoiler ahead) <I was unhappy that it ended in a way where they were supposed to accept their fates instead of continuing to try to get home. Accept that they were enemies? Then at the last second it flips to the villain being someone else, but it still felt bad.> (spoiler over) Note:Too many content warnings for me to remember, most were minor to moderate, but they definitely added up to me not enjoying the book as much because of it.
