A solid fantasy debut that is mainly consistent with its worldbuilding, although some of the characters' choices feel inconsistent.

Does a great job of introducing its characters and setting the scene for the saga ahead.

I really enjoyed reading this, more than I thought I would. It read very YA, but it was also well written and engaging. I was excited to dive into the world every time I could listen to this audiobook for a good chunk of time. There wasn’t as much world building as I would have liked, or depth of character, but the way this book was written makes it seem like both of those are coming throughout the series. I am so excited to continue reading!

I loved this book. I would have given it a 5, but I was screaming at the main character half the time that the answers were right in front of her. She is portrayed as smart and cunning, so I just didn't find it believable that it took her so long to connect the dots sometimes.
