I loved this book. It was so sweet. The authors language got flowery at times but very good.

adventurous dark sad fast-paced
I can't really give this a star rating as I don't think I am the intended audience.

The writing itself is beautiful, the setting is magical and the story is captivating. However it drained me of hope and made me quite upset. I look to books to escape and play pretend somewhere more hopeful and happy, this book is not for that, at least not in the way I interpreted it. 

Don't get me wrong it's a very good book, but it's for an older audience who enjoy darker themes and more somber tones. If you are going through a tough spot mentally this might not be the right read.
