5.0

Eammon and Red own my whole heart, but not only that i love Lyra and Fife as well, Neve and Raffe were also good but these characters i am so excited to see how they will be in For The Throne.

This was good, but... confusing? I really had to push myself through this one. The last half-ish of the book was amazing. I HATED the interludes with Neve. I did not care one bit about her. 

Also, it felt like the author didn't know if this was going to be YA or not. 

I would have loved more romance and bonding with Red and Eammon. All in all, I did enjoy this and look forward to the second book. 

But man did I have to push myself through it.

4.5

I feel like some of the world building could have been tightened up a bit. Also there were moments where the confusion I felt was not caused with a reason, but from lack of clarity in the writing. BUT I loved Red and Eammon. I loved the themes of religion and nature. Loved the eerie vibes, and I was sucked in to all of that. If the first aspects mentioned were tightened up this would be 5 stars for sure.

Self harm aspects are not for suicidal reasons but for Magic reasons. Still, it can be hard to read, especially as some characters martyr themselves

this book has very strong themes for self harm, cutting, suicide, and parallels to drug abuse or alcoholism. Lots of mentions of knives and blood and descriptions of injuries.
