The first half of this book never really hooked me but I have a problem DNFing books so I pushed through. While the ending really picked up with lots of turns and magic I am not sure if it really made up for how long it took to set it up. 

Overall it was a fine book!

This is the example of what YA fantasy can and should be. A brilliant story that knows when to subvert and when to use standby tropes, wrapped in an immersive setting and beautiful mythology. I appreciated the way mental health was handled as well. The protagonists are flawed, yes, but deeply sympathetic and complex.
