3.5/5⭐️ rounded to 4.
I want to start by saying I just don’t think this book was for me.
I found myself struggling to get through it and put it down more times than I could pick it up. (Usually I finish a book the same day I start.)
It’s not that it’s a bad book, it’s just that I found it not intriguing my interests and felt it dragged a bit in some places.
It also ends on a cliffhanger with no HEA. (Not that big of a deal but for me I wish it all ended with this book.)
With that being said;
I did enjoy the story, I found it unique and interesting in parts but wished that it skipped over some things I didn’t think were important to the story line, however that’s probably just me.
I strongly believe every book has a targeted audience and I just don’t think im it for this book. I struggle to comprehend the names and words she’s using in her world (even with the list of pronunciation’s I felt lost) and wonder if younger kids will be able to comprehend it as well.
*
All in all, it was a great plot and story.
Just not for me.

I received a free ARC in exchange for my honest review of this book, and let me just say that I am so happy I did! I have followed this author on TikTok for quite a while and she is such a sweet and amazing person that I couldn’t help myself with this one.
This book is a YA fantasy. Not my regular genre as I am more of an NA reader, however this was so good! The world building is on point, the characters are amazing and easy to love, and I am super excited to see where these books go! Very creative and beautiful.
It’s got everything you want in a fantasy - magical ability, a beautiful landscape, mythological races… It’s like a beautiful neatly packed parcel with everything you would ever need in a book. I loved it.

It feels like I have waited years for this book and I'm so glad I can finally read it.
the MC is Skye and I have a real soft spot for her just because of the name.
This is a true epic fantasy and I truly enjoyed getting to know this unique world.
there are helpful things in the beginning of this book that helps with pronunciations en basic info AND a map. I LOVE MAPS
the only thing that wasn't really for me is the amount of description there was especially in the beginning.

The magic in this book was so unique that it just sucked you into the world. I loved the MC and her determination. The illustrations made me fall in love. I had a clear image in my head while reading. And I was left feeling things. However, I was confused a bit. Whether I didn’t process it right could be up for debate but some things got a bit mixed for me which ruined my experience reading it. Definitely worth the read.

I really wanted to love this book. I was excited for it, I've preordered it, but my brain could not focus on the writing style.
Very flowery language with too many conjunctions and choppy paragraphs made for a difficult read.
