Tella was giving Taryn vibes from folk of the air. Literally kept saying that and honestly found her annoying until the end. VERY well written and I am really excited to keep reading Stephanie’s books.

I've just started getting back into fantasy and sci-fi, and this book feels like a really good jump into it. Garber really builds a world that is magical without being fantastical. She weaves a tale of love and devotion and care that I find really appropriate for young adult readers. I though that

Julian was Legend

, but I think that was the point. I'm beyond stoked for Legend and Finale.

J'aimerais en savoir plus sur la manière dont le monde en est arrivé à son état actuel, comment la magie fonctionne en détails. Cependant le livre, pourtant recoupant certains parties des contes préférés de l'autrice, et semblant être adapté aux ados, contient énormément de scènes de violence graphique. Cela ne me semble pas cohérent, ou du moins pas bien géré.

To be honest, the story kind of runs away from you. I lost the plot a little bit and even more so in the next book. But the characters are cute, even though their decisions are...interesting. Overall an okay book! I really think this book is more so just for vibes!
