The sex scene is cringe worthy but that’s definitely the point. Same with how naive the FMC is, but overall good story if not a little predictable.

This book was so good! Like, stay-up-til-2am-to-finish-it GOOD. It was action-packed and adventurous, and I absolutely LOVED the FMC. Her friends were awesome too. And Morrgot. I hope there’s a little more about the magic system in the next book, but overall I thought the world building was fantastic. Docked a quarter of a star because the author kept calling the horse’s bridle a halter—as a horse person this deeply annoyed me. Google’s not that hard.

When I first started this book I wasn't sure I was going to connect with Fallon. I saw a few other reviews that mentioned she annoyed them.

At the start of the book Fallon is 10 or 12 and then she's 22...yet still acted like she did at the younger age. This did bother me at first...I mean how is she 22?! But after a while it made more sense. Although Fallon did live being treated as "other" by most of the people she passed...she was still very sheltered and protected.

The journey Fallon goes on is really her first experience in the world without someone familiar with her. She grows a lot on this journey and I look forward to seeing what happens in the books to come.
