3.5
Overall, whilst i really loved many elements of the book, there was just something missing for me. Maybe it was the writing style, it feels YA in a sense but not in the nicely fast-paced way or in terms of content (I have no idea if that makes sense, like idk how to explain this take??), or maybe I didn't love it as much as I wanted to just because it didn't give me that feeling of 'I need to stay up until 3am reading because it's just SO GOOD' and ended up taking me just over two weeks to finish (double what it usually would).
However, I will probably read The Ashfire King when it releases and if you love these kind of stories, definitely give it a go!
