I felt like the target audience was unclear. From one hand, the dialog was often cringey and childish, the metaphor and moral of the story spoon fed to the reader and the characters flat and unchanging. On the other hand some topics handled in the story are very much intended for mathur readers.
At times it felt like the writing was trying to be shocking and edgy but it just looked out of place.
The love intrest was dull and cartoonish in her behavior and odd facial expressions. Ever since Liv's body was found by Sophia the king plot twist was extremely predictable.
Sophia is a mediocre but loveble protagonist. Her motivations are clear and understandable but she did not changed at all in the duration of the story.
Honesty, I shipped her with Erin till the end because I thing it would made more compelling story.
Prince charmin was a flat and exaggerated villan but he was also pretty menacing (at least in the first half of the book).
Amana was the best character in my opinion. She was compelling and intriguin until her very end
<spoiler>
Over all, I did mostly enjoyed the read. I thing maybe the book was intended for younger readers and it have great messages over all.

⁕ This book was a very refreshing read after several heavier adult fiction novels. It’s fast-paced and full of delightful little twists. I definitely recommend it if you want something to pull you out of a slump.
⁕ All of the main and secondary characters are so loveable! I just wish the book was longer or that there was a sequel so that I could have spent more time with them!
⁕ I appreciate that this text pushed me to interrogate and question the role that heteronormativity plays in a lot of fantasy, as well as the overall impact that it has on readers and our culture as a whole.
