I think that this was a classic case of right book, wrong time.
In theory, I should've adored this book. It was like A Darker Shade of Magic met Elena of Avalor and they had a baby with some of my favorite tropes.
But it took forever to read the book and I was bored. Were there plenty of actions scenes? Yes. Was there angst and danger? All the time. Did I like the characters? They weren't my favorites, but I didn't dislike them.
I don't know why this book fell flat. Was it the wrong time to read it? Am I in a reading slump? Was it really just not my kind of book? I have no idea. All I know is that I was sort of disappointed in what I anticipated to be one of my favorite reads of the year.

Loses one star because I was a little bored at first and the magic kinda confused me. Overall it was enjoyable though!

It was too slow. It took 150 pages just to introduce a villain. And the characters were very bland and 1 dimensional.
