I love high fantasy but get really annoyed when authors build bigotry into the world (like you can write about dragons but people are still sexist/homophobic? Lack of imagination, tbh) so I enjoyed the casual representation here!
I felt like this was a good standalone story but I might pick up the sequel eventually to revisit the world/characters bc they’re so fun.

This book lived up to my expectations. I had a wonderful time reading it. The characters were well-developed and I liked the various relationships. I liked the relationship between Vanja and Emeric. The worldbuilding was good. The plot was a little predictable, there were a few twists that I didn't see, and the writing style was good.

The pacing felt a bit slow and dragged out for me, but overall a decent amount of angst. I wish the friendship between the Goose Girl/main character and the bird girl were more developed. The bird girl's relationship felt kind of instalove. I did check out Book 2, but haven't gotten around to it/made it a priority to read, make of that what you will.
